You have a lot of problems. An agreement to transfer an interest in real property is required to be in writing, to be valid. (Civ. Code, � 1624.) That rule applies to leases in which the term is longer than a year.
There are exceptions to these rules, and courts will apply those exceptions to prevent fraud. If you had a written agreement, you would be required to foreclose on the agreement in the event of default. I suggest you consult in person with a real estate attorney near you to go over these issues.
