I know this was not easy, the email back and forth was very interesting but a true demonstration of how passionate everyone is about what they do.

You’ve got to take your time and demonstrate that while rental rates might increase, so does the value of what tenants receive in return.In about 18 months of ownership, was able to create value of almost $4 million in equity.Question you might be asking if you aren't familiar with this type of investing is how can value be created so quickly??

The lessor must demonstrate that 20% of the original cost of the property is a reasonable estimate of the FMV of the property at the end of the lease term.c.

If someone is a demonstrated investor, I think it's a fair presumption that their need for future credit will discourage them more to not voluntarily default and exclude themselves from financing for several years.

Demonstrate that you intend to do a lease-option and that you believe the rent and option price to be reasonable.

Sometimes, the answer was "no", especially if despite them being challenging, they were ultimately good customers for the business (they are return guests, pay on time, and demonstrate overall loyalty to my brand).

It is easy for any of us to assume we have the moral high road because we're not so blatant in demonstrating our biases and prejudice.

This was the explosion referenced by Bill I was referring to (and I've on various occasions seen these on the local news):While I certainly cannot say with absolute certainty that a water heater failure as you linked to and was demonstrated in your mythbusters video, could not cause secondary damage, for instance by severing the NG line feeding it (as it would likely do this) - the primary failure and explosion demonstrated in the video due to the T&P relief failure would not possess the energy / mass to produce the damage that Bill was referencing above.   

About the same thing, for those that want to demonstrate that don't get it, want to step up and complain that they are losing deals, then just carry those types of signs and get your picture taken.

Really, the house I brought up was just a random example to demonstrate a larger point.
