Yes I’m not an investor in RE and “have no idea what I’m talking about” but I have seen some of the C and D class neighborhoods change demographics within a 2years span.

I want to know if an owner/landlord rents out a home to a tenant with a Lease Option contract where that tenant has the option to purchase the home at the end of the specified time span, is this agreement legal in Indiana in light of Dodd Frank regulations?

I have similar goals as well. 40-50 doors over a 10 year span so I can retire early. 

Besides that they typically look at how many deals you have completed in a 24 month span so having this as one flip wouldn't really change rates or affect your approval much

For example, high clear span ceilings?

It was a quick simple purchase basically to get some equity built over a 10 year span.

We never really realized the value of brokers until now.We ended up refinancing this property a couple of times in the 2.5 year span.

I think you would have to look at all of the major cap ex items and estimate the life span of them.

if you are south of west palm and have a pulse give me a sign. yes i speak Spanish and Spanglish and cu banish. sorry no portu span glish

The weird part is that throughout the years in both SF and NYC, if you held your buy and hold property for the span of 10 years or more, you would have made Returns FAR exceeding any cash flow Investments where there were no appreciation.Also, if you were continuing to want to live in SF or NYC, buying your Investment Property protects you from being priced out of that Market.Anyway, I'm glad my posting at least opened your mind to considering other calculations than the 1st year ROI.
