In affect we traded into a nicer home and secured a cash-flow rental. 

There are also note funds, but I'm not considering them because they're unsecured and pay only slightly higher than what I can get with safer  publicy traded funds.So on the risk scale, with T-bills being a 0, S&P500 ETF being a 7, and a Meme stock being a 10, where would you put TDs with the parameters I specified in my first post? 

I probably would quality for being a trade or business with the amount of hours I put in remodeling and such but since I don't have logs for the past 4 years (since I've had my rentals for much longer), it would be at least 3 to 4 more years before I'd qualify for that.

Jack Bosch and a lot of the land flipper guys who teach it like to have their students buying in the high deserts and remote areas of the Western US  or in FLA like le High Acres etc. this is were cheap land is and land that gets traded constantly at tax sales.. the play for most of them is really simple.buy at tax sale or with direct mail.. for a few grand  re-market them for more and sell on terms and collect monthly payments..

That's time for a new negotiation and they will likely buy your Option back from you.You can also sell or trade Options for cash or anything else you like and they are great to hold in retirement accounts too.I currently hold an Option which I paid $4500 to the local County for the owners delinquent property taxes to save his house from foreclosure.

:D Seriously though, I'm interested in learning exactly what they are, how they are traded, and how I could possible profit from brokering/connecting companies that trade MTN's with a few of my clients that have that type of buying power.

In fact you are trading likely a fixed rate for an adjustable rate. 

What about other 'property trades' people?
