Any thoughts on how I may set expectations or work this into the lease before execution in coming few weeks?

I have been impressed with their communication and execution and availability for questions.

That means you are the buyer, seller or the person with a written, executed assignment of the purchase and sales agreement.2.

Make sure you put the contingencies on the sale contract that will let you either renegotiate or back out of the contract if you have to.Also when you put the house under contract, make sure you deliver the contract to a title company or attorney, with the earnest deposit, in order to show that you have a viable and executed sale contract.

I would focus my time educating myself in the investment strategy you are going to execute as an investor.

If the numbers crunch in your favor and you have the means to execute on the sale, you know the saying, "No risk, no reward".

Good deals are so hard to come by these days that it seems that 10% downpayment may make a difference between having a positive or negative cash flow.I'm also concerned about being overleveraged and vulnerable next time there is a correction...

It's quite typical...someone trying to cajole a disengaged owner into executing a contract without an agent advocating on their behalf for their best interests, and then assigning that purchase contract to an end buyer  to get paid with minimal infusion of cash, and doing so before the clock stops ticking.

I am definitely the type of person who likes to have his ducks in a row before executing - which can be an issue sometimes.One thing that I learned surprised me.

The costs are far better where I would be investing than where I live and number still seem to make sense, even with factoring in 12% PM fees for them to advertise, rent, execute the lease, manage, pay bills and vacancy factoring.
