For a larger and more valuable house, the couple grand may be worth it, but maybe consider furniture rental places!

Assuming $75 grand for closing costs, I am basically looking at taking $1M and doing a 1031 exchange to buy a $4M apartment / multi-unit building.

I would also think a more 'blue collar' demographic with more 600- 650+ FICO score 'potential buyers' (used to renting, thinking they needed an 800 credit score and/ or 20% down, to 'buy') with only a few grand to put down and little or no prior knowledge of their ability to 'rent to own' would be optimal to 'pre- quality' through a mortgage lender, as well as (re)educate people that there are also good reasons to 'rent to own,' aside from getting into a house to 'build equity.'

I was thinking a grand per deal that their number brought to us.  

I have looked at some listings for GR that are available online.  I am interested in a REI realtor in that area.  I am interested in Buy and Hold but I would like to connect with someone with some experience in the ar...

If you purchase the property under your name, it is a grand pain to get it changed.  

My returns will be much better on that investment, because I wouldn't be giving money away for lot rent, Each home would have about an acre of land,  and I could charge 30% more rent,  but I think I will be doing good getting a decent trailer on my property for less than 20 grand. 

While that is definitely not right, it may be worthwhile to just accept it to get the deal closed. 1% is probably fairly insignificant in the grand scheme of things.It's tough to do, but sometimes you have to ask yourself "Do I want to be right, or do I want to be rich?"
