My goal is to start to build passive income through real estate investing so I can ultimately spend more time with my new son and step away from my current career in Oil & Gas, which isn’t quite as fulfilling as I was hoping.

Financial freedom for this particular investment business will be fulfilled when the household income is replaced with rental income in the amount of $XX,000 cashflow per month.

Make an offer contingent on one of the units being vacant so you can fulfill you're requirements to purchase.

Also, what is "lease to rent" - does he mean lease to own, with him collecting all coins as payment towards the sale amount until fulfilled (at which point you are entitled to keep all the coins)? 

All complimented with Amazon fulfillment centers, google, and more tech manufacturing jobs.The TRICK, is to not get sucked into the very tempting very low priced houses. 

The tenant has fulfilled the obligations of the contract, except for getting the title transferred into their name.

Is there anyway I can structure it so that the second is still fulfilled?

Inspection time is a good opportunity for both parties to reconnect, nurture the relationship and demonstrate they are fulfilling the terms of the agreement.

This way your personal assets can not be taken to fulfill a judgement against an entity and vice-versa.Yes there are tax implications, financing implications, and legal implications to every variable there is.  

This is a great resource and basically, as in life, if it needs to be done, you probably better do it.There isnt any mandatory cost for an inspection contingency in CT, IIRC,  when I sold our house, it was CTS right up until the mortgage contingency was fulfilled, then it went pending.
