How do lease options work and what are the benefits?
A lease with an option to purchase provides buyers with the opportunity to lease a home with the potential to buy the home at a later date. Buyers who do not have enough cash for a down payment and closing costs are sometimes drawn to lease options as it can offer them an alternative means to home ownership. Stipulations surrounding lease options, such as purchase price, purchase date and rent application, will differ for each transaction and should be researched prior to entering into a lease option contract.
