Abstract: Methods and systems for leasing and transferring real estate are provided. The methods and systems are configured to allow a customer to select one or more parcels of real estate owned by a real estate owner or by an investor, and develop the selected parcels if needed or desired. The methods and systems further comprise executing a lease-contract and a real estate transfer contract by the customer and investor, the lease-contract providing that the investor conveys a leasehold to the customer for the parcel(s) of real estate and the real estate transfer contract providing that the real estate transfer contract is not valid unless one or more condition precedents are satisfied. The real estate transfer contract becomes effective due to the condition precedent of the full price being paid through lease payments being paid by the customer.

Abstract: The bag-supporting frame includes a circular band having an annular groove on its outer wall. Three legs extend downwardly from the band and contact the ground when the frame is standing upright. An elastic cord is received in the groove for attaching the upper portion of the bag to the band such that the band holds the mouth open. In use the frame is tipped over so that the mouth of the bag is substantially vertical. The legs are arranged to support the frame so that it holds the mouth of the bag in that position. Particulate material such as leaves and grass cuttings can then be conveniently raked or shoveled into the bag.
