An option to purchase real estate is a legally-binding contract that allows a prospective buyer to enter into an agreement with a seller, in which the buyer is given the exclusive option to purchase the property for a period of time and for a certain (sometimes variable) price.
Typically, the seller grants the buyer an option to purchase the property based on the terms and conditions in the Option to Purchase, in return of a sum of money from the buyer called the Option Fee. The Option Fee is typically 1% of the sale price of the property, but is negotiable between parties.
The strike price of $70 means that the stock price must rise above $70 before the call option is worth anything; furthermore, because the contract is $3.15 per share, the break-even price would be $73.15.
Document everything in writing. Keep a written record of everything that is agreed on, and be careful to use the right terms in the agreement. Consult an attorney. Use separate agreements. Keep the term short. Take a security deposit. Pay like an owner. Factor in repair costs. Don't give large rent credits.
A lease-option is a contract in which a landlord and tenant agree that, at the end of a specified period, the renter can buy the property. The tenant pays an up-front option fee and an additional amount each month that goes toward the eventual down payment.
The primary difference is that an option contract entitles the buyer to the option to purchase the items at a later time, whereas a firm offer gives the buyer the right to buy the items outright at any time.
