Simon discusses how individuals who are renting can get their foot onto the property ladder and how current homeowners can upgrade to a bigger property in a better area.
The episode specifically caters to four groups: those who are renting and want to buy a property, homeowners looking to upgrade, individuals with equity but low income, and landlords wanting to sell their rental properties. Simon introduces the concept of tenant buyers, who move into a property as tenants but have a lease option to buy it at a fixed price within a certain time period. He also reveals a free chapter from the upcoming book on lease options for those interested in learning more about becoming a tenant buyer.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Tenant buyers are individuals who move into a property as tenants but also have a lease option to buy the property at a fixed price within a certain time period.
- Tenant buyers take care of the property like it's their own home, including repairs, maintenance, and improvements that add value to the property.
- Rent paid by tenant buyers may sometimes be less than what they would pay if they owned the property with a mortgage, allowing them to save extra cash for a deposit.
- Tenant buyers can secure a property at today's prices and benefit from potential capital growth without needing a mortgage immediately.
- Landlords are often the best people to work with for lease options, as they may have properties they no longer want but don't necessarily need the money from a sale right away.
BEST MOMENTS
"Buying your own home could be one of the biggest decisions you will ever make."
"Sometimes the rent that the tenant buyer pays each month to the landlord might actually be less than they would pay if they owned the property and had a mortgage."
"So this can be very frustrating when renters see property prices go up over time, which means they'll need bigger deposits and bigger mortgages to buy in the future."
"But you can find people who've got a property that they don't want, which they want to sell, but for whom they don't necessarily need the money now."
"In a market where prices are coming down, it's a buyer's market right now, if someone wants to sell a property, typically they're selling it at a bit of a discount."
