Their are few, if any instances I can think of where a property owner would perceive that giving up the major portion of 10 years of appreciation on a $200,000 property for $5,000 cash while “tying up” said property for same time is advantageous.  

You can make minor adjustments based on the type of appliances (dishwasher, clothes washer and dryer, air conditioning, etc.) and the size of the rental.

Lease-to-Own or Rent-to-Own: Offer lease-to-own agreements where a portion of the rent goes toward the property’s purchase.

Hello all, I'm curious how much the HUD will actually pay compared to the 40th percentile rents posted on their site.I'm aware of the different amounts each tenant will cover in terms of their portion of the rent, but I'm not sure if the HUD will actually agree to my rent price.I've been taking the stated FMR for the bedroom count, and taking 20% off the number stated (to be conservative as to what the HUD will accept).

From my findings, the two subdivided lots would comply with the requirements provided by the county:The minimum lot size is 1 acreThe minimum lot width is 135 feetThe front building setback is 60 feetThe side building setback is 20 feet (for corner lots it is 30 feet on the street side)The rear building setback is 60 feet

You seem very green, I would highly suggest finding a property management company to do this for your while you learn the ropes and how things work.However, you can also get a copy of "The Book on Managing Rental Properties" by Brandon Turner, and get some really good information.The main one's to consider are:Background check - totally clear, or will you allow certain thingsEviction history - totally clear, or will you allow if no evictions for last xx yearsIncome Requirement - usually 3x the cost of rentCredit History - totally clear, or will you allow certain thingsPets - yes or no, size, type, number of pets allowed, extra pet deposit/feeAgain, I highly suggest a property manager to assist you with this.

I have a house that is a two bedroom one bath property with a decent size lot.
