That's a wide spread. 

Spread the knowledge that I have gained in my 20+ years but most importantly....2.

If you want a lower tax bill then you would want deductions immediately, if you want profitability in the short term then you would want to depreciate as that spreads depreciation expense over the years.

As a user I have to do that in the lead list by creating a "tags" column in the spread sheet prior to uploading. 

But why in the hell would someone want to spread their money out over so many different places?

You'll find that there are plenty of large scale wholesale companies, but also smaller wholesalers that tend to source deals with larger spreads.

or is it spread out in the larger San Antonio area and other places as well.

Depending on the facts and circumstances of the agreement, it could either be treated either1) the sale occurs as of the original agreement date, and then your taxable gain is generally spread out over the life of the principal payments as an installment sale (although I should mention any depreciation you've taken on your property could affect this), or2) the sale does not occur until the lease option is exercised, and gain reported at that time.

[Update: @Denise Evans , just learned you can make edits to your posts, you may want to go back and remove the errant info you posted as to not spread misinformation, especially as it looks like people are leaning into to you as someone who is very knowledgeable on these matters.] 

If you have A1 Able do it, it is way too expensive and they don't guarantee that it won't spread to other units in the building.
