Residential property derivatives

Derivatives allow investors to make financial gain from particular assets without actually owning said assets. They've been around for years, but recently they've made the cross over from more advanced commercial property structures into the realm of residential property deals being closed by Joe Bloggs buy-to-let investor. Well, not quite, but it's certainly getting there.

I'll be doing some comprehensive blogs on option structures packaged with leases and other bespoke agreements that allow investors to receive cash payments on entry, carry and exit - and all without putting a penny into the investment and never actually owning the property itself.

My background in investment banking has always given me an edge in structuring property deals, but it was really rammed home when I attended one the wealth events run by Tamkin Riaz and his TLC Entrepreneur group.

If you're keen, Google around or read the pig for some terms such as sandwich leases, lease options and rent to buy schemes.
