    Podcast Episode: 28 How Real Estate Investors Get 3 Paydays From One Deal

    In this episode of The Real Deal Podcast, Sarah Willis and Suzanne Moore—investor-minded real estate agents based in Central Oregon—introduce the creative real estate strategy known as lease options, also called rent-to-own agreements. They preview their upcoming March 19 investor meetup (12–1 PM PT) featuring lease-option expert Andrew Schlag, founder of Truca RE, who will teach investors how to sell properties using this creative financing strategy. Sarah and Suzanne explain how lease options work: a tenant-buyer pays a negotiable, typically non-refundable option deposit for the right to purchase a property at a pre-negotiated price in the future. During the lease period, the tenant pays rent and often assumes responsibility for maintenance, repairs, and insurance.
