I have sold some properties years ago on lease options where the tenant buyers actually exercise their right and purchased the property. ( I was in the deed.)The reason I am concerned to tie another person’s property up  with the lease option is that people can change their mind, as in the seller.  

Lowe's just came out with their biggest appliance sale of the year- up to 40% off.

If you are willing to do mid-term, you open a lot of boxes up.

However I think in general you would get lower rates going to credit unions than bigger banks though maybe you might get more if they think they can make the money up elsewhere.

While it doesn't directly offset the income picked up from the inherited IRA distribution on your tax return, this could partially or fully offset the tax impact and be a completely legit way to accomplish sort of a backdoor rollover.For example.. 

Many of those properties don't actually produce income due to turnovers, vacancy, maintenance and damages and you're lucky if they appreciate enough to keep up with inflation.

I do have some very limited experience with commercial, but I've found it to be risky when retail vacancies come up, at least in the Bay Area.

Andrew,Good for upping your game!

The land is in a very non-desirable area pretty much in the middle of no where so I would assume the cost of the land is low but don’t know how the ROI would be after you had the infrastructure up and running.

If you meant co-living, look up @Grant Shipman, that is what he does.Can you please explain or point me to a post that tells us what your model is?
