The price a home seller/investor believes they could obtain, within a few months, if they placed their house on the market now. The net annual rate of return earned by the home seller/investor from deferring the recovery of the property’s equity while continuing to pay the costs of ownership, assuming the option is exercised. The number of months the prospective buyer has to exercise the purchase option. The non-reimbursable upfront fee paid to the home seller/investor for granting the option. The price at which the option to purchase can be exercised within the option period. The rent paid monthly for the right to occupy the property, due for the entire option period or until the option is exercised, whichever comes first.
