If I lost everything and had to start again, Lease Options are what I would start with.

Is the Traditional Way of Buying Property Holding You Back?

That's where Lease Options become very interesting.

A Purchase Lease Option, or PLO, can allow you to reach an agreement with an owner to control their property now, with the option to purchase it at an agreed point in the future.

Depending on the property, the agreement and the strategy you're using, that could potentially allow you to generate monthly cashflow from a property you don't yet own and benefit from future equity growth if you eventually purchase it.

In other words, instead of finding a property and immediately asking:

you learn to ask a completely different question:

That's the shift I want to help you make during this challenge.

Lease Options don't work for every property, and not every owner will agree to one. But when the circumstances are right, they can give you another way to create opportunities that you — and many other investors, might otherwise walk straight past.

Why I Believe Every Property Investor Should Understand Lease Options

I've been investing in property since 1995, and over that time I've invested through very different markets and used many different property strategies.

But Lease Options remain one of the most powerful, misunderstood and underutilised tools I know.

In fact, if I lost everything and had to start again, Lease Options are what I would start with.

And that's not because they're only useful for someone who doesn't have a deposit.

I still use Lease Options as an experienced investor today.

For someone new to property, they can open your eyes to opportunities you might previously have assumed were impossible because you didn't have enough money to buy the property.

For an existing investor, they can add another acquisition strategy to your toolkit, particularly when you find an opportunity that doesn't make sense as a conventional purchase.

The problem is that most investors either don't know about Lease Options or don't understand them well enough to actually use them.

They may have heard the term. They may even understand the basic concept. But knowing what a Lease Option is and knowing what to look for, where to find one, why an owner would agree and how a potential opportunity can be progressed are very different things.

That's what I want to start changing over these three days.

Let Me Show You What's Possible When the Circumstances Are Right

Let Me Show You What's Possible When the Circumstances Are Right

Once You Know What to Look For, Property Starts to Look Different

Imagine you find a property with good rental potential in an area you like.

At the moment, your first calculation might be how much money you'll need to buy it.

You work out the deposit, mortgage, stamp duty and other costs and decide you either don't have enough capital or don't want to put that much money into the deal.

So you move on.

Once you understand Lease Options, you can start asking different questions.

Why is the owner selling? How long has the property been available? What are they trying to achieve? Do they need all their money immediately? Could the property generate positive cashflow? Is there an arrangement that could potentially work for both sides?

And ultimately:

That doesn't mean every property suddenly becomes a Lease Option. Far from it.

It means you have another tool available to you and another way of looking at opportunities that you might previously have dismissed.

And during this challenge, I don't just want to explain that tool to you.

I want you to start looking for potential opportunities yourself.

This Isn't Just 3 Hours of Property Theory

Over three live lunchtime sessions, I'm going to take you through Lease Options in a logical sequence, starting with what they are and building towards how you can begin finding and progressing potential opportunities.

The goal is simple.

By the end of the challenge, I want you to understand what you're looking for, where to start looking and what to do when you find something interesting.

And you don't need to wait until the challenge is finished to start.

I'll show you where and how potential Lease Options can be found so that you can begin searching while we're going through the training together.

You might even start identifying potential Lease Option opportunities during the challenge itself.

Here's how the three days will work.

3 Days. 3 Hours. One Very Different Way of Looking at Property.

This challenge isn't about promising that you'll secure a Lease Option in three days.

It's about giving you the knowledge to start doing something most property investors simply don't know how to do.

You may even identify a potential opportunity while we're doing the challenge together. Or you might investigate something and discover it isn't suitable. That's part of the process too.

Either way, my aim is that you finish these three sessions no longer thinking: "Lease Options sound interesting, but I wouldn't know where to start." Instead, you'll understand the strategy, know what you're looking for and have a clear idea of how to begin putting it into practice.

Common Questions

The Next Time You Find an Interesting Property, Ask Yourself a Different Question

Most investors will continue to look at a property, look at the price and immediately calculate how much deposit and finance they'll need to buy it.

If they can't raise the money, can't get the mortgage or simply don't want to commit that much capital, they'll move on to the next property.

After these three days, I want you to be able to look beyond that.

I want you to consider the property, the potential cashflow, the owner, their circumstances and what they're actually trying to achieve.

And before you automatically walk away, I want you to know enough to ask:

"Do I Actually Need to Buy This Property Today?"

Because sometimes there may be another way.
