This is all way easier to do at Epik. I am pretty sure we do more domain lease transactions than any other provider and have been doing them for years. The buyer/lessee has the right to use the domain while the lessor gets paid. It is all managed and automated so that payments are not missed.
At Epik, the lessee has one vendor to contact for making payments and for succeeding with using the domain. Most domain leases are done by people who intend to buy the domain later. In other words, it is important to help them to succeed with their domain since it increases sales. Do not underestimate this!

If you are a NamePros member, you can be approved for selling and leasing external domains, not registered at Epik. However, to get the best deal and also for the fastest transactions, it is best to have domains at Epik registrar for the most frictionless experience when dealing with sales and leases. It works for transactions for any size, e.g. from $5 per month to $100,000+ per month.
Domain leasing and financing are critical marketing tools for domain investors. Earlier today we finalized a $350,000 1 word .COM transaction where the customer will be making payments over 2 years. We don't typically announce sales, so we won't but there are meaningful domain leases and domain financings being done. With Epik, there is one vendor that manages the whole process.
Also, I have heard people say that they are turning down crypto transactions. This is a mistake. Some of the largest deals to be had right now are crypto deals. You simply need a trusted intermediary. For calibration, Epik did more crypto escrow in March and April 2019 than fiat escrow. You can choose to get paid via conventional sources or hold funds in crypto. Just contact us for help there.
