For a single family home the size and scope you're describing, I wouldn't involve an architect unless you're looking for end-to-end project management.   

Remarkably, almost all of them described the same types of properties.

The lease/option as described will be 2 separate documents; the lease can be a standard rental agreement. 

I think it's all helpful, but your response to my post is way beyond how you described my post.

I checked over in San Diego (because I have lots of friends/family there) and they had temps in the 80s-90s described as 'Heat Advisory'.....Huh?

This BP topic, Total Available Market - 2, 3, and 4 units, describes the Raleigh market for property that meets Fannie Mae 1-4 Family underwriting. 

Remarkably, all but two described the same types of properties.The next step is to purchase a property similar to what these reliable tenants currently rent.Below is an illustration of the process I followed.In summary, determine which tenant segment will provide the most reliable income and buy properties they are willing and able to rent.

Form an asset protection plan that's so complexed it must be described in flow chart form and must include a Wyoming LLC, otherwise what's the point if they aren't "anonymous"?

I'll also go back and tag records as the homeowners respond to my marketing so that I can see what lists are performing and what lists aren't.It does pretty much what you're describing in your post if you choose to use it in that way.

I was noodling what to do with my personal home that I am going to sell in the next few years that has those metrics you describe I know i get the 500k ..
