Best thing you can do, if you're in the learning stage, is to partner with someone that knows and have them teach you.

There're hundred of office space looking for tenancy next to google office in mathilda, also in patrick henry.These old 1980 style single story office after dotcom crash, nobody want to lease the space, even during booming time, no company would move there.what's funny is behind lawrence there are bunch of new  condo , that my friend ex manager at linked buy with cash, all from company option, and retired at 45, life is strange...i used to live not far from your cambrian neighborhood , who in the right mind think the area avg home price in 2 mil in 1999 LOL but yea some people is just lucky because of what they did during 2005-2019 era.the boom and bust cycle is very tangible in san francisco though....

Quote from @Christian Styles: This seems to be in the ballpark, but I would have a few follow up questions, Is this their entire fee structure? 

I'm not sure who's out there teaching such a structure to real estate investing (I'm guessing someone is teaching it because this keeps coming up) but this scenario is a "normal" acquisition. 

I agree with @Christian Styles; consult a landlord attorney in your state.

It's a 4br/2.5ba 1700sqft Usonian style home with a great view (sorry, can't give away the location just yet!). 

The only value they add is for someone who does not know much about the 0% credit card game, teaching them the best order to apply in, e.g., starting with business cards that typically don't show on your personal credit report before doing the personal cards that are going to increase your credit risk until the CC companies finally stop offering you 0% deals.

YIf your unit has multiple bedrooms, rent the other(s) to roommates to increase cashflow.This will teach you a lot about landlording and after 1-2 years, you can buy another and repeat the process.

@Ryan Bienkowski It might be worth finding a local investor/flipper who you can invest with and have him/her teach you along with way.

We do and teach something called a lease option.
