Real Estate Investing With Lease Options

With lease options and subject-to deals, investors can control properties worth much more than what they could normally afford to purchase. The potential for profit is great and the costs of getting started are low. This book shows novice investors how author Wendy Patton and thousands of other Americans--including well-known real estate developers and business moguls--use lease options and subject-to deals to control valuable property without necessarily owning it. The cost of purchasing an option or subject-to deal is a fraction of what it costs to buy a home. That's why these kinds of deals are typically found in every serious investor's portfolio. Sharing the secrets and strategies investors use to profit from low- and no-money-down deals, Patton gives investors all the information they need to succeed. "Finally, a book that explains lease option and subject-to deals in depth and detail. This book is essential for anyone who wants to make money in real estate without using a lot of cash or taking on a lot of risk. A gold mine of great information." --Robert Shemin, New York Times bestselling author of Secrets of Buying and Selling Real Estate?Without Using Your Own Money! "Few can rival Wendy's knowledge and experience with lease option and subject-to deals. This is a must-read for beginning and advanced investors and the real estate agents who serve them." --Gary Keller, New York Times bestselling author of The Millionaire Real Estate Investor "The techniques Patton teaches here are invaluable--especially for working with Realtors and still getting properties for little- or no-money-down. The detail in this book will make you want to read every page." --Albert Lowry, PhD, New York Times bestselling author of How You Can Become Financially Independent by Investing in Real Estate

Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, I would recommend that you NEVER use any of your own money when getting started in real estate investing. Sure you have seen all the TV Shows showing you how you can make "big bucks" buying and flipping houses. However, what they don't show you is all the investments that "fail'. Unless you know what you are doing and have the time and money to do it properly, there is a high probability that you will lose money.

This book provides you with all the strategies you would need to get started in real estate investing without using any of your own money.
