Out of the 8 Estate and Letting agents that attended the Lease Options meeting that Mark and Julie Jackson ran for us, we are working closely with 2 agents. This is what had been predicted prior to the meeting, so it’s all going according to plan.

We are working with Clive a local Estate Agent, he’s brought 2 deals to us so far. Unfortunately both deals didn’t fit the criteria as they were both 1 bed apartments, which, as you know are not good for investment properties. Clive has really grasped the concept of lease options though and I’m sure they’ll be more deals coming through.

We’re also working with a letting agent called Purple Cow, Claire and Francis are joint partners. They too have really grasped the concept. Its early days but they are already thinking of possible deals that we might be able to do.

I feel that Mark really opened their eyes as to what was possible with the power of the lease option. They can see that it offers a solution for their clients and they will get paid in the process too. Lease Options are such a powerful tool for an investor’s kit bag. I’m really looking forward to doing my first one!

I’m working my way through the Lease Options Course which is excellent, I’ll review the course when I’ve finished, but so far it has given a lot of useful information. I have also got an audio from Mark Jackson’s Lease Options workshop back in January. This is a great resource as you can listen to it in the car, it really immerses you into the world of lease options and gives you a lot more confidence to go out and actually do a deal!
