You will find weird things in your contract like it automatically renewing for long durations, the contract applying to owners, heirs and assigns (meaning it applies to future owners, whether they like it or not).

And some will only underwrite for minimum durations fully pre-paid (say 3 months policy, you sell in two, they keep that extra month).

Also, make sure that the duration of your option (12-18 months for a lease-option, or no longer than 6 months otherwise) with the seller is longer than the duration of your option (3-4 months in both cases) with your end-buyer.

Duration of ownership.e.

Police and national guard units are just a quick reaction force and could not last more than a couple of hours in an uprising of any duration.

I am a bit unclear about what it is you are asking.Notes are paid in arrears for ordinary annuities so the interest is generally paid for the duration of the month at closing and then the seller starts making payments the 1st day of the month thereafter.There isn't anything cast in stone that says you have to use an ordinary annuity though.

In addition, the duration of the deal is only 30 years, which means that after thirty years the entire building goes back to the landowner and my friend is out of the deal.

Just a couple of thoughts to throw in as you estimate holding costs and duration.

What about shorting a short-duration bond market ETF.
