Sorry If my question is a little scatter brained.What is the basic step by step process of a Lease option?

For the sake of saying this though it seems crazy to want to hold for long lengths of time a portfolio of 23 roofs when one apt building would be a lot easier then a scattered site plan?

The idea of 1031 into larger 8 unit or 12 or 16 unit also might help as all under one roof instead of a scattered site issue.

Of course your strategy may be to end up owning the house, which in a lot of instances I think happens in the NP worldAs I have looked at many a tape of non performing notes the assets were scattered all over the place.

Houses just happened to be the inventory that I buy and sell, and if for some reason or another I felt like that was no longer my best option then I would focus on something different, however like I mentioned, I really don't see that happening.I know my thoughts are kind of scattered but just trying to relay what comes to mind as much as possible.

It sounds like she is fundamentally more conservative than you, rather than "scatter-brained."

the WF team was very unorganized and everyone was scattered all over the U.S.  

@Chanelle Dupre  From a macro level most people start with sfr (single family residences) rentals because they're familiar and affordable but as their portfolio grows servicing and managing houses scattered across a metro or worse, across several markets involves a larger and larger amount of travel and that takes a toll on returns, peace of mind and family.

I agree on the Gatewood, Paseo, Classen, areas, in 5-10 years, I've started researching 5-8+ unit multi familys scattered around the area...

As I'm sure you know from Phoenix, good and bad locations can be scattered like a patchwork quilt and so between the 'common knowledge' of non-landlord folks (like the majority on citydata) and what you tenants find acceptable there be opportunities missed.
