Option fees and lease-to-own agreements can be excellent tools or expensive traps depending on what you sign. This lease-option guide breaks down what you actually own, what happens if you back out, and how to negotiate better terms.

▸ Families who want to lock in a home's purchase price in a fluctuating market
