Hi All,
I’ve recently run into a few people here (in Oregon) that have told me that participating in lease options (when you aren’t the Owner of the property) is illegal unless you have a real estate license. I believe that ORS 696.010 (15) states it as practicing “professional real estate activityâ€, but exceptions to that can be found at ORS 696.030. Although I’m certainly not opposed to getting my license, I’d rather not. If I can be the middle-man in a sandwich lease option without a license, why spend the money and time to get licensed?
At this point I’m consulting a few attorneys to see what my options are. I’m wondering if there are ways that I can structure a sandwich lease option in such a way that it is legal. Every states laws are a little different. Are you doing something unique in your state to get around this? I’d love to hear what it is...
Thanks in advance,
dB
