@Ben Leybovich already stalks me on the phone and I can't imagine the torture of his ugly mug popping up on my screen every 30 seconds...not to mention that it might make @Brandon Turner jealous.

Hey thanks for the input @Ben Leybovich! 

@Ben Leybovich if your asking about my deal, the market value on the property is currently about $140k.

Can he roll it over, or maybe take out a loan?

Any friend of Ben's is a friend of mine @Daniel Ryu not withstanding ;)

Along with the pending intent to sell 24 months from now (lease option)"I was originally looking at this as a wholesale/lease option...My questions: Can he still be a middle person in any way acting as the landlord for the property if we move forward with a lease option?

First thing you want to think about will be his income while doing the work, can he manage to survive on making nothing until the house is sold.

@Ben Leybovich: I appreciate your tone and remarks!
