3.I was thinking maybe the best exit strategy on a LO for me might to be just to execute a “Contract for Conditional Release” where once I find the T/B and instead of assigning any rights, just have everybody close at my attorneys and instead of collecting the option from the T/B I charge the same amount to the owner and charge them a Conditional Release (Document giving my rights up to purchase the property for a fee).

In 9 years..9 freakin years of LO's...I can tell you the 1 time someone actually made good when I "spread out the down".....Don't do it....Please...for the love of all that is good in the world....don't do it....

He's a LO and I'd bet he could tell you.

I did talk with the LO today.

If I am responsible, I am just going to replace it with a standard lo-flo head with no extension.Or should I replace it with a similar model?

Lo and behold, we are now at pricing not seen in over two years.

I'd be interested in crunching the numbers to see the benefits of keeping it as a long term rental vs LO in a few years when prices are higher.

The tenant's wife was living at the house under a L/O contract, which expired 8 months ago.

Yes, you have a problem as she will not be able to refinance a seller financed note/wrap/CFD/LO untill she paysoff the lien.You house is also a non-owner occupied deal which kicks in the Safe Act issues and any purchase transaction needs to be originated by a MO and no one who values their license would squeeze off in underwritting that deal unless it was fully amortized.The lien can also be attached to her property if you do a note and DOT, it's not so much a credit issue as a possible collateral encumbrance for any lender.

On further reading it looks like that law might have been written to protect homeowners from investor buyers taking the property subject-2, collecting rents from tenants or l/o buyers and then not paying the owner's loan.Does FL have no other law that addresses rent skimming, one that protects lenders?
