Hi Michael C and Group: Lease Purchase is a great business! A Point about Option To Purchase: Does it give the Tenant EQUITABLE INTEREST? If the TBer gets a lawyer and it goes to court, will the Judge say the Tenant has an EQUITABLE INTEREST in the home? I mentor a few people every year (Hi Michael C, Brian here in NZ via Boston, MA) in Lease Purchase along with my own investing and development, and I found a very interesting idea from Mark Warda, JD of Florida. Mark Warda JD does a CONTRACT FOR OPTION TO PURCHASE much like a Contract for Deed or Agreement for Deed. And a Strong Lease. They (TBers) do not get EQUITABLE INTEREST til they complete the terms of the Contract for Option to Purchase (CFO). For less than $40. he sells a book on the subject. Michael C., with your permission, I'll place his link for his book in another email to this board. All the best to all at naked-investor, Brian Gibbons
