Let's not forget TBer who doesn't call to let you know that something needs repair. You may have done such a convincing job explaining that it was their responsibility that TBer chooses not to call. Since they don't have money to fix water leak in upstairs tub, they just let it continue. Now, we've got some mold issues and much more serious repair numbers. It's critical in my opinion that TBer call you if they have a significant repair, even if they're able to pick up tab. I want to know what's going on in my properties.

So, to summarize, I think there are some important steps to take when you sell your properties on a lease option. Take what you feel is important and incorporate it into your business if you haven't already done so.

1. Push TBer to get an inspection done. If they don't have $200 or so to do this, ensure they sign off on an inspection waiver. It's more difficult for them to come back to you demanding their option consideration and rent back due to needed repairs if they made this choice on paper and signed it.

2. Consider using part of TBer's funds to purchase a home warranty. Not only does it comfort their concern of potential repairs, it increases likelihood that needed repairs will get done. It's cheap insurance in my opinion.

3. Set up your standard operating procedure regarding repairs. Like all issues regarding properties with which you stay involved, it's important to promote and maintain consistent, documented procedures. In other words, don't have different repair policies for different properties or TBers. Choose repair responsibility method or methods you think will work best and stick with them.

4. Another item not mentioned that is also company policy is that TBer must have and maintain renter's insurance. Policies can be purchased for very little funds and it protects their personal property. Typically, these policies will also have a liability component that provides an initial layer of protection before they get to your policy. This way, if some accident happens, like tub leak above, that damages their property, they won't be coming to you first for replacement.

Selling on lease options can be a profitable technique if done wisely. Just don't go into it believing it doesn't take any work and that landlording headaches are completely removed. They aren't.
