Bonus structure was 20% of whatever they don't spend, which I saved them 100k, gave me a big fat check of 20k after 2 months, timeline was 3 months, so who knows how much they gained renting those spaces for that extra month.

In CA my larger expense it the Fat *ss mortgage that is MONEY IN THE BANK for me. 

If they decide after 18 months they dont want to flex their option to buy, its even better for you because you keep every penny they spent on the house, and then you can start over and collect another fat payment up front with another 18 month lease option.

Once you get the first deal under your belt continue going and don't get lazy after the first deal some people will after they get that fat check of $2,000 or $15,000 check.

Good enough equity, trust, and a nice fat n juicy interest rate?

But still no real estate and no big fat bank account.

@Trevor Turner, I agree with @Gene Hacker suggestion to quickly read a few books to get a better overall understanding of real estate investing.
