                              the previous article we discussed how emotion is 
                              the great motivator when it comes to finding the 
                              right sellers who will work with your lease option 
                              solution. Finding motivated sellers is crucial if 
                              you want to succeed with property options, so you 
                              need to develop this key skill. 
                            In 
                              this article we will discover and discuss another 
                              two situations which strongly motivate sellers and 
                              often lead to you agreeing a lease option solution.

                              blues and lease options – relief for tired 
                              landlords 
                              It’s so easy to get burnt in property, especially 
                              if it’s not your profession. There are masses 
                              of motivated landlords trapped and waiting for dawn 
                              in the UK (remember the moth analogy?). Many of 
                              these have inherited a property and are trying to 
                              manage it part-time, on top of a full time job, 
                              which is actually very difficult. Helping other 
                              investors free themselves of property they now view 
                              as a burden can be a great pleasure. What makes 
                              that true? Here are some factors to consider: 
                           
                          
                            -  
                              
Investors 
                                want to let their property out 
                             
                            -

                                banking on a lump sum to move on.

                                A 60 month lease with a rental guarantee appeals 
                                to many landlords, especially tired ones 
                             
                            -  
                              
 
                                Knowing that the property will be fully maintained 
                                and insured gives peace of mind 
                             
                            -  
                              
 
                                The prospect of a future sale within the term 
                                of the option agreement means they can offset 
                                certain allowances against their liability

                              seller wouldn’t otherwise have 
                            There 
                              are many reasons why people need to move on. Learning 
                              to contact people who find themselves in similar 
                              situations is key to making your lease options business 
                              a success. Here are some of the most common motivating 
                              situations to look out for:

                              a deadline, any one of these reasons can become 
                              pressing, so much so that the need to move on becomes 
                              a burning desire. Lease options can work brilliantly

                              finds freedom through a lease option – real 
                              case study 
                            Kirsty 
                              owns a beautiful two bed semi with a conservatory 
                              and well kept gardens in a busy town in the North 
                              East of England. Although she had moved into a Park 
                              Home in the countryside forty miles away, she was 
                              unable to settle and enjoy life with her partner 
                              Lloyd. They were paying £490 for the mortgage 
                              on the empty house, not to mention insurance and 
                              council tax, and they were getting worried with 
                              thoughts about vandals and burglars sucking the 
                              joy out of life. 
                            A 
                              long term option to buy at a price below the current 
                              market value was agreed and Kirsty and Lloyd are 
                              free to move on with their lives, they have peace 
                              of mind and no stress.

                            Once 
                              you appreciate the situations which create powerful 
                              emotion that motivates, you are able to target your 
                              marketing and find or attract the right sellers 
                              easily.

                              these two articles on motivated sellers we have 
                              taken a look at how the situation and problem can 
                              be solved with a lease option. We have looked at 
                              the four main situations which motivate:

                            You 
                              Want to Invest in Property but Can’t Get  
                              a Mortgage? 
                            Have 
                              they said No to your mortgage application? How did 
                              that make you feel? You could have been earning 
                              £293 a month from that house they said you 
                              couldn’t buy? Are you starting to feel that 
                              your dream to make money from property is beyond 
                              your reach? 
                            The 
                              annoying thing is that many are saying now is the 
                              time to buy… But how? It could be very frustrating. 
                            You 
                              CAN do it! 
                            How? 
                              Learn lease options. Property lease options allow 
                              you to take control. Does that sound like something 
                              that might interest you? Good. 
                            Imagine 
                              saying goodbye to many mortgage applications, expensive 
                              surveys and down-valued property! Imagine planning 
                              and executing a sensible, personal property investment 
                              strategy, building a sustainable investment portfolio, 
                              without having to ask for permission!
