Yes, you can buy real estate, but in many cases the more important issue is control, rather than ownership. Your awareness and mastery of these methods will allow you to respond to a variety of situations and seller needs. Simply put, you can say “yes” to more opportunities and in turn hear more “yeses” from sellers. 

Here’s a quick list of ways to control a property.

  1. Purchase Contract

  2. Option Contract

  3. Lease

  4. Lease with Option Agreement

  5. Contract for Deed

  6. Subject-To

  7. Seller-financing
