Every single one of them has either said no, they didn't, or "I didn't know that was an option." 

Hi hive,I am new to investing and trying to learn from the different options out there.

As you get to this point your gaining more confidence in the options because you know option A and B had a certain outcome that wasn't option C, and this would give you more confidence you're doing the right thing for you.From there, I would be identifying properties to acquire if you don't already have some in mind and then my next sheet is creating the plan.

What options does your lease give you?

The “borrower” would have an option to buy back the property if (1) all lease payments (“mortgage payments”) have been made and the borrower/seller pays is the sale price/loan amount in full at the time the option period/note matures.  

.: Quote from @Donald Hatter: Option 2 is the last option I would suggest.

There's zero reason to do this when there are plenty of options to avoid it. 

Financing options do exist: hard money loans, renovation loans, and some traditional mortgages can be used on distressed properties if criteria are met.

I also worked with a great lender who helped navigate financing options, including my HELOC, to make the deal happen.

My two partners are willing to pay their share, but they’ve also offered me the option to take over the property completely since the loan is in my name.Here’s my dilemma: If I keep the property and rent it out, I could get around $2,300 in rent, but my mortgage is $3,300 at a 7% interest rate.
