If you do the lease option I recommend that you: A) require an option payment, the bigger the better B) Do an in depth background check on the tenant/buyers, and then listen to your gut.

Just that, I thought for me to be a successful investor I better obtain a license and understand the in-depth details (and secrets) of the RE World.

When they ask about the utilities in depth...that's always a flag.
