I no longer have a need for these videos on my shelf.

The forums have infinite amounts of wisdom to help you learn what you need to become a successful investor.

While a home inspection is obviously only good for that one house, your $350 may buy you advice usable in a nearly infinite number of purchases.

I started looking again a couple months ago (some posts on this forum), then put it on the shelf.

And if it's no money down then the returns are infinite.

Ultimately meaning your returns are infinite.

Even if not, if the market goes down, the option price suddenly doesn't look so hot and they're out 5K.Add to that the fact that it make infinitely more sense for a person with credit problems to rent cheaply somewhere for a while, while they fix their credit problems with no risk of losing 5K and no risk of the market going down.You said: "on another note; all the people that I know that do these type of deals do purchase the home below fair market value and therefore start out with equity. part of this equity is then transferred to the end buyer which will setup a lease option.

Buying your rental properties right and handling the tenants correctly are infinitely more important and will determine whether you succeed or fail.Good Luck,Mike

Could be infinite if you have none of your own cash in the deal.

This savings could translate into a higher return on your time since if you paid back your 49,200 and only have 20k left @12% interest lets say your month cost to hold the property is not substantially less in the absence of obscene closing costs or points.Option B:This may be an investors dream cash back 45k in your hands and a property with no skin in the game "infinite return," assuming you still cash flow with 120k of leverage on the property.A tenant would be paying your mortgage, taxes, insurance, and etc while you've retained the property, received 45k non taxable proceeds from the refinance since the asset has not been sold, and potentially making some income each month if the numbers work.120k @30 year fixed 5.625% is only about 690.79 per month and taxes and insurance I'd wager (depending on state) is probably 130 more.
