🎯 Why This Isn't a SLOT Deal
Now, if you’ve been hanging out with us for a while, you know a SLOT deal (Sandwich Lease Option Transfer) is all about quick hits—you find a motivated seller, secure an Option agreement, flip it to a buyer, collect a 5% bump, and you’re out. 🏃♂️💨
But this strategy?
This one is about longevity. Think: Cash every month, with a nice balloon waiting at the end. You’re not just flipping an Option—you’re holding the contract, collecting rent, and helping someone move toward homeownership. It’s a deal that prints money while making you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
🧪 Phase One: Testing … You
This strategy works. Period.
But here's what we are testing: You.
✅ Can you screen tenant-buyers without letting emotion cloud your judgment?
✅ Can you manage contracts with professional-level clarity (no “handshake deals” here)?
✅ Can you keep the money flowing in without dipping into your reserve?
This is your personal investing audit. Pass it, and this strategy becomes your long-term moneymaker. Fail it… and well, you'll learn the hard way. (Don’t worry—we’ve got training for that too.)
🛟 Build Your Safety Net First
Look—I know you’re excited about collecting checks. But if you want to sleep at night, do this:
💰 Take 100% of your first deal’s down payment (we call it Option Consideration) and put it aside.
Yes, all of it. No cheating.
Call it your Safety Net Reserve. It’ll be the parachute you hope you never need—but trust me, you’ll thank yourself when something unexpected hits. (Like a roof leak. Or worse… a tenant with TikTok dance parties and a pet raccoon.)
🧠 The Secret Seller Pool
So, where do you find properties for this magic cash machine?
Motivated landlords.
These folks are the real secret. Why? Because they:
Already understand monthly income.
Are tired of tenant drama.
Want passive checks without doing the dirty work.
Hotspots to find them:
Zillow (filter by “For Rent by Owner”)
Facebook Marketplace (search rentals in your area)
Craigslist (old school, but it still works)
MyPlus Leads (trust me—dig here)
💡 Pro Tip: Skip anyone who says, “I don’t do creative deals.” Next!
🧮 The Deal Structure – Example Time!
Let’s say you find a $250,000 house worth $275,000 on the open market.
You negotiate:
A 15% equity discount ($37,500 off! 💥)
A rent-to-own agreement with a tenant buyer
Collect 10% Option Consideration ($25,000), structured like this:
5% upfront = $12,500
5% spread over the lease term = $12,500 via monthly boosts
The lease runs 7–10 years. The tenant buyer gets time to clean up credit, save more, and eventually get a mortgage.
Meanwhile? You collect rent, a portion of which is pure cash flow. (Typically 20–25% after expenses.)
Multiply this by 3, 5, or 10 properties… and well, welcome to the semi-passive income club. 🎉
🧠 Final Thought – You're Not Just Flipping Homes
You’re creating win-win-win deals:
🏡 Sellers get passive income without headaches.
👨👩👧 Buyers get a path to homeownership.
💰 You get cash flow now + equity later.
That’s not just smart investing—that’s impact investing. 💥
