Make Sure You Do This On A Lease Option…

When you give someone option money at the onset of a lease option agreement – you are going to have to prove you gave that money when you get a loan to buy that house.

How do you prove it?

If it’s certified funds you need to keep a copy of the certified check.

If it was a personal check – you need to keep a copy of the cancelled check (front and back). 

Don’t give cash! 

Anything less than this – the underwriter will not give you credit for giving that money.
