@Kai Van Leuven the longer the lease option the more money we make with the debt pay down, and the cash flow and the more reasonably we can set the option strike price.

Which doesn't strike me as overly impressive.

We believe, though can’t be sure, it was auction.com bidding us up (they say that they may do this).As the bid rose, auction.com lowered the required bid increments.We ended up the highest bid and won the auction. 24 hrs later we were notified that we had not met the sellers price and were offered a higher price by auction.com on behalf of the seller at which we could strike a deal.

I had migraines for the first 3 days of no sugar.

You never know when problems will strike, but hopefully, if they strike soon, it will be a while before you have issues again.

I had a tenant text the other day that they paid a deposit and never got a deposit statement and they were trying to buy a house and that this needed to be settled in court.  I saw this and was thinking you have to be...

But no, just blanket ruling that landlords need to operate on hope, faith and luck.I have been just waiting for any kind of rent strike to happen so I can shout my protest charge of "PROPERTY TAX STRIKE".

@Gary Parilis So if you were in my shoes, where I plan on buying a property, but am just waiting on the sidelines for a good deal/time to strike, sounds like a cash out refi would make the most sense correct?

I agree that my post was not bad, but nor was my comments regarding the rent strikes or my level of eviction desire, but someone took something I stated out of context.

If they don't want to strike a deal with you, then that's it.Third, it might make sense as a deal to you but it's obviously a huge emotional issue for the mother.
