I have a property in California, put it on the market about a months ago, it seems to be well priced at 750K, however, it’s in the area where most of the homes are smaller, less options, smaller yards, and sell for 500-675K.
So, now I’m trying to put it on a lease to own contract. What are the best ways to get qualified L2P tenants? Especially in the higher price range of the market?
You are right on the 2% mark for the option payment, being the house is 750K. I have found at least in the Northeast, people don’t want to commit more than 10K for an option payment. Maybe because 65 % of my T/B’s do not exercise their option to buy. You may have to come down to 1.35 % or you could just take the profit now and sell out right. I find higher end homes can be a pain to move. I think its because less people can afford these price ranges.

Jonathan, thanks for the reply. My Q was not so much about the quality control of the tenants, but rather about best marketing techniques that work for L2P tenants. I put several ads in the paper and on Craigs List, but the majority of leads I get are those who have no clue as to what L2P is. I was spending too much time explaining the basics and when I get to the Option deposit requirements ($15,000) they just hang up. So then I started running the ads that start from “$15,000 gets you in!”, which pretty much stopped the flow of any phone calls all together. Is there a better way then running ads (expensive, I might add)? Thanks again.
Maybe you got a go after folks having difficult time qualifying by saying “No Qualifying”. I wonder if you are in “hot” part or “not so hot” part of California.
