However, leaving them where they are I feel like I'm missing out on bookings. 

I know we're still ok with it because we're renting and it's booking quite a bit.

The only people who see my books are my CPA & lawyer.Don't like a companies prices?

I just finished The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner, and it made me even more excited and determined about getting into this business.

There are towns that are not too far where there could be some options for you, but I would start going to real estate investor meetups and pair that with books and podcasts.

The only other cost is to the book-keeper who gets paid hourly to categorize a few transactions a month which takes less than an hour a month.Drawbacks of the lease option model.- There is risk in that the rehab has not been completed and the financing has not been secured so there may be unforeseen issues with the home or lending process that may cost more than the estimated costs which can then reduce profits.- The tenant buyer may decide to not exercise the option or may decide to terminate the lease early which may produce a profit less than the projected returns.- The money partner is not the only owner of the company which owns the property and thus has limited decision making over the property.

But books!
