I met with another real estate agent today, and thankfully that was also a positive meeting! I think I have 2 or 3 agents that I would want to work with.

Marketing Lease Option to Landlords

I'm hopeful that Shirley will have additional information to share, her approach is valuable and I'm anxious to learn more. I've used my own approach in finding properties for Lease Option opportunities, and that is by contacting owners of rental properties that are advertising to fill vacancies. To be honest, this approach has always supplied enough properties to keep me busy with this technique, and I work with some other strategies, so I haven't used the Lease Option approach all that much with properties for sale.
