For example we pay our own income taxes, broker splits and all of our other expenses directly out of what we make including required E&O insurance, MLS dues, licensing fees, Board of Realtor dues, continuing education costs, marketing, advertising, office fees/rent, transaction coordinator/ assistant fees, health insurance, car insurance and maintenance, gas, tires, software, retirement fund, etc.We are not W2 employees with payroll taxes already taken out of our paychecks, company-paid health insurance and matching retirement account plus a guarantee of at least 40 hours paid work per week, sick pay, paid vacation… none of that.So if you’re thinking you’ll be able to pay an hourly wage typical of a W2 hourly employee like $50-85/hr… that’s definitely not going to work.

@Edgar Duarte Depends on if you prefer owning real estate or want to be invested in the stock market.

You set your own payment terms with YOUR client and then find funding for them.The Capital Syndicate is a private lender firm that offers financing through their own company, but they also provide you with a list of about 150 other private lenders. 

I believe the idea is that if you transfer a property from your name to a trust you own, the Due On Sale isn't called.

Do you still own the property in Blythe?

Always conduct your own due diligence.

Keep an eye out for stuff like that.If none of that works, you’re probably in it for the long haul until they leave on their own.

The interest rate is 7%, so we suggest this property is for someone who wants to get into Lease Options and meets the other requirements such as adequate reserves and credit.That means, they buy the property, they wind up with $50,000 in equity and they do a Lease Option to a buyer who doesn't currently own a house, but wants to.

I leveraged my owned land to build my personal home.

And those who purchase the timber rights then come in, at there own expense, with there own equipment, there own operations, harvest, site mill, do whatever reclamation and then leave.
