I a new investor west of Austin and I heard there were new laws regarding, “Lease Purchases”?
Since, I want to help a family member out and unload a mobile home in Llano, Tx by Lase/Purchase, as it hasn’t sold with a realtor, I didn’t want to fowl things up out of the gate.
Thanks,

u can still do LP in TX, but you can not ask for more than 1 mo dep from your lessee, and they have to be able to cancel anytime. those are the 2 main paint that make all the difference in the world.
you are best to buy this property from them subject to and sell it on a wrap if you are going to sell it. if u are going to live there, buy it subject 2 and leave it at that. u become responsible for the loan.
Tony,
Thanks for the advice. Boy your right, L/O are not a good deal for the investor as there is not as much security…it’s like renting from what you say.

I read somewhere that L/O in texas is now leasee friendlier …they can back out whenever they want and you can only charge them 1 month lease upfront…
I might have read that here on the boards…anyway it makes subject 2 a more attractive way of doing things
Just1yana,
you probably read that in my initial response to this post.
Duh…sorry
I have been going thru everything for the last 24 hrs or so on a mirage of boards, working on my first deal and just trying to take it all in!!!
sorry I wasted everyone’s time!
