"How to Invest in Real Estate with Lease Options: Powerful Strategies for Getting More When You Sell and Paying Less When You Buy" Presented by Wendy Patton

This month Columbus REIA is pleased to announce that our keynote speaker at our next monthly meeting will be Wendy Patton. Wendy is widely recognized as one of the leading experts on using lease-options in your real estate investing business and is also the author of two bestselling books entitled “Investing in Real Estate With Lease Options and "Subject-To" Deals” and “Making Hard Cash in a Soft Real Estate Market”

Wendy is also a licensed real estate broker, a licensed home builder, the past President of the Oakland REIA, and was recently profiled on the HGTV “My House is Worth What?” hit cable TV show.

Wendy is experienced in land development, property management, rehabs, and foreclosures but lease options are by far her favorite topic. And with over 20 years of real estate experience, and hundreds of transactions under her belt, she is the country’s leading expert on lease options and working with Realtors to acquire lease option deals.

Here’s a few things Wendy will be covering in this meeting:

• Why sellers would accept lease option terms, what kind of sellers will accept them, and how to secure them legal contracts designed to help protect YOU!
• Learn tested and proven methods, which will attract lease-option buyers and sellers to you like a scrap yard magnet.
• Learn how to negotiate lease-option terms that will positively impact your financial bottom lines.
• How to price your home for a tenant buyer and understand the forms used to sell on a lease option
• How to structure a creative deal with the buyer when needed.
• What to say to a tenant buyer that makes your home more desirable over other homes.
• How to get your buyer to the closing table so you can spend your profit!
• Learn how to price your home so you create the maximum profit.
• Know what to say to buyers so they pick your house over the competition.
