If they decide after 18 months they dont want to flex their option to buy, its even better for you because you keep every penny they spent on the house, and then you can start over and collect another fat payment up front with another 18 month lease option.

Once you get the first deal under your belt continue going and don't get lazy after the first deal some people will after they get that fat check of $2,000 or $15,000 check.

Good enough equity, trust, and a nice fat n juicy interest rate?

But still no real estate and no big fat bank account.

The fat is currently being trimmed. 

But a fat  wad of greasy twenties stinking of sin...I'm just a man, Cody.

@Christopher PhillipsThanks Christopher for your comments.Yes there is some fat in the deal.

You have good tenants who pay market rent (more or less) and are willing to sign a 2 year lease...one thing I really like about keeping good tenants is that your vacancy rate will be a big fat ZERO for the next 2 years! 

I would see that as a big fat red flag

I may have fat fingered some numbers.
