A lease and an option are two separate equitable interests in a property that use separate instruments.  

At the least expect an instrument clean from the Seller to the Buyer assigning the loan.  

And I have to go elsewhere to verify if they are true comps anyways, easier to just use Redfin from the start.We took a VERY different approach to comps by using an automated valuation model to pull the initial comps rather than the typical +/- 200sf approach in all other comp systems.

As were growing much faster now I need more automation, so were evaluating several other management packages... all of which have electronic rent collection capabilities (and screening, etc.)

@Isaac Schulman automate as much a s you can.

Set up options for automated payments, a P.O.

The Mortgagee, per the security instrument, is allowed to include those arrears and advances made when finalizing the total amounts due under the note which is subject to review and approval by the system thus recovering those dues from the property at or from sale.   

The broker pulls credit and then submits the loan to their pre-approved investors usually through some automated system and gets back a decision of eligibility.  

Now to duplicate, automate and systematize!

I am also searching Craigslist daily (well through an automation site) and analyzing local deals there.
