How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Rent-To-Own Contract in Georgia

In 2024, a personal client in Georgia sought assistance with drafting a rent-to-own contract for a lakehouse property currently owned by one of the members of a three-member LLC. The primary goal was to establish a rent-to-own structure that would allow them to maintain the existing mortgage while addressing their specific comments on a form lease agreement and operating agreement. Additionally, the client required guidance on the tax implications associated with this proposed structure. As a result, the client received seven proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $400 to $1,595. All proposals were submitted within the requested timeframe of over one week to meet the client's needs.
