I am not an attorney and below is merely my opinion. 

I'm not a real estate agent, but I think the mere mention of 'possible owner financing' brings a tidal wave of offers, good and bad.

The policy holder will be different than the property owner with an after-the-fact transfer.I would offer as @Tom MacDonald or xxxx LLC for now.

I am guessing that your particular situation merely involves a sale of property and then a subsequent purchase of property, which will not qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment.Your tax advisor would likely be putting his or her license on the line by trying to report this as a 1031 Exchange transaction, unless any of the appropriate documentation was put in place.

The tenant owns absolutely nothing until they exercise the option and close on the property.Otherwise, they are merely a renter and can be evicted like any other renter if they miss payments and break the rules laid out in the lease agreement.

I personally don't thing it "adds" to any of those things, it merely "preserves" the original value and life.

Blake McBee It SOUNDS like this is merely a brokerage account.

It's not what I was expecting but I ended up getting 1-on-1 underwriting coaching for free.I didn't want to be a mere "employee" so I kept looking for others to potentially partner with. 

I never accused you of saying that...I was merely pointing out that I clearly did have an attention to detail...Apparently, your lack of attention to detail is shining through...Sorry Tom...you're gonna have to work harder than that to keep up...

It is apparent that the 2 that I brought up were just a mere scratch of the surface!
