Starting out with leasing options in smaller industry and college
Hi best group ever! I've been renting out my SFH in St. Paul and must've lucked out with great tenants that pay rent early and take great care of the house. I've been learning about the lease option concept but haven't had luck yet finding motivated sellers near Nashville where I'm spending the winter. My brother lives in a small industrial town a few hours away with barely any homes for rent and a few properties that I've found with possible motivated sellers. I also have a sister that lives in a smaller college town with a similar housing situation. Has anyone had luck with this strategy in this sellers market in most cities? I know I've thought twice about selling my house, but the cashflow is so juicy.
