Cross reference with employers with higher education off linkedin (use an API), and see if there's a correlation between housing prices in districts which are being gentrified, school ratings over that time period, and housing prices (in fact maybe there's another correlation between if these employers work for recently IPO'd companies and are exercising fresh options to purchase real estate).

Analyze markets, analyze trends, and exercise a strong sense of financial acumen.  

Hi,I rented out a room to two friends over the past 1.5 years and it all went well so I never had to really exercise evictions/late fees/ any other nasty things.

You would like to be able to do the things you want (travel, take classes, read, exercise, visit friends/family) without the constraints of a 9-5. 

In order to become ready for your first property, keep learning, assemble a group of real estate experts, investigate possible properties in-depth, start small, and exercise patience and discipline.Good luck!

However, while we were cleaning up, we treasure hunted out at least $3000 stuff, including $300 cash on the floor, several un-opened Amazon boxes, new-in-box computer/gaming items, hair tool ($300), YouTuber's gadgets, new with tag heated jacket ($220), an unassembled exercise bench ($500 at least), so many new or near new stuff that you can sell.

Option fee gets applied to the option amount when they exercise the option.

Many options can be exercised to achieve your goals. 

If I do not exercise the option to buy the property after 5 years the landlord will keep the option fee and all rent that has been paid.

You exercise your rights as a junior lienholder to pay off the senior.
