This guy sounds like a character.

Identify the market you want to invest in (it sounds like you've already done this)2.

Doesn't sound like a lease option at all.So, after 5 years you get the $2k-$5k down, the little bit of amortization payments, and the difference of $875/mo and $667.33/mo? 

And based on the interest rates your getting, it sounds like the cashout would be MORE EXPENSIVE debt, rather than cheaper debt.

Sounds like lower non qualified / qualified ratio is the way to reduce CGs and depreciation recap.Furthermore, 1 property is owned by my elderly mother and can future reduce CGs via step-up at passing (assuming current step-up tax law)Property 1 (CA Condo $800k FMV, $450k basis, 10 year owned as 2nd home, wife+I are owner)Rent 2 year in CA (24mo rule), 1031 to WA, rent 1 year before converting to primary residence for 5 year before sale.Is qualified use years 10 (2nd residence) + 5?

It sounds like you’re in a good spot with your rental and investments.

Sounds like you are talking about a commercial property.

,It sounds like you may be looking for something more like this:  www.synergypgh.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/Investment-Presentation.pptxThanks...that's similar to what I'm thinking.

Not to sound discriminating, but what kind of person hoards?
