How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Lease To Own Agreement in Oregon

In 2024, a personal client in Oregon posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a lease-to-own agreement for selling a manufactured home located in a resort park. The client aimed to establish clear terms for the financing arrangement with a buyer, including down payment details, interest rates, and protections in case of non-payment, particularly since the buyer would be co-signing with an elderly family member. They were concerned about creating enforceable provisions that would allow for quick action in the event of payment issues, expressing a preference for terms that might circumvent the lengthy foreclosure process. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed lawyer, with a flat fee bid of $800, all submitted to meet the client's requested deadline of over a week.
