I found the perfect home with a lease-option to purchase which is perfect for me, but..

Since I'm new to this should I have a realtor on my side or a lawyer?

What type of questions would you need to be answered by a lawyer? Are you concerned about the lease terms? You may need both.

JanC I guess I am just worried about the contract in that I'm not a lawyer or realtor and just want to make sure I'm not getting the wool pulled over my eyes so to speak. I'm typically competent enough to read documents and understand them, but when there is so much money on the line I just want to make sure I'm fully aware of what I'm legally getting into. Especially since this isn't a typical deal. I see from your profile that you are both a realtor and lawyer. What would you charge to look over the contract?

JanC Just so you know, I've done a lot of research on this and it all seems to be legitimate from what I can tell, but I'd feel better knowing someone with an eye for these kinds of things had looked it over.

JanC Hi, no I'm not. I just saw it online and contacted their realtor and went to go see it.
