And then the maintenance issue as I said is a bugger with these old ( and just assuming single wides)So yes if you want to sell the units you could just sell them for a few grand cash and be done or have a LO prep the paper work according to the laws of OK.NOw on the lagoon I personally have never heard of one or know what one is..

How do you calculate the option assignment fee for these L/O deals?

Using Wendell's cashflow analyzer I am trying to structure a Lease option purchase and LO Sale on this property that a family friend is selling.

I use sandwich L/O, sub2 and land contracts to buy property in this crazy market.

If you had gotten an attorney, they would certainly do it, but at a price and they aren't even required for a L/O, especially before trying to operate out of state. :)
