Planning and executing 1031x, LLC and so on. 

Marriage is a strategy.There's the business school joke about the advertising executive who got married and traded reach for frequency.

“We already have an executed contract and will be proceeding to closing”.

A majority of the posts on BP revolve around small amounts of cash flow and the precise execution needed to achieve it. 

Marco offered a good plan to consider for executing the outline of your lease option. 

There's nothing wrong with that just know what you're getting into and have an executable plan in place.My two cents but as the saying goes...Congrats on taking action.

My main lease prohibits washer/dryers in the units unless we give written permission (which would be the addendum).Here's what mine looks like:THIS ADDENDUM IS HEREBY MADE A PART OF THAT CERTAIN LEASE AGREEMENT EXECUTED ON _______________ BETWEEN _______________________ (“Tenant”) AND ______________________ (“Landlord”) Rental Unit Address:This agreement serves as consent from the Landlord to permit Tenant(s) to attach and use a clothes washer and/or dryer within the aforementioned rental unit under the following conditions:Any damage to the Premises caused by water originating from the washer and/or its connecting hoses will repaired by the Landlord at the undersigned Tenant(s) expense.Tenant agrees to regularly maintain and clean lint/debris from the dryer unit itself as well as attached ducting.

The pros that come on the podcasts have a simple formula that works and they execute it efficiently.

In North Carolina, it's customary to have a "due diligence" fee when executing a purchase agreement.

Usually go with non refundable down payment,  some type of monthly credit towards their purchase (only if negotiated ), buyer responsible for all repairs ( assuming home is in good condition when they are buying it) and if they are not able to execute at the end of the lease term offer an extension period with possibly a little more down payment.
