Key Takeaways

  • Lease options provide property control without immediate purchase for an option fee of 1-5% of price.
  • Sandwich lease options capture spreads on both option fees and monthly rent between master and sub-lease.
  • Land contracts allow the seller to retain legal title until full payment, creating specific buyer protections needs.
  • Wraparound mortgages let sellers earn an interest rate spread between the wrap note and the existing mortgage.
  • All three structures require attorney-drafted agreements and state-specific compliance review.
