EXACTLY Darius its well known in those circles  this is why the state of PA is coming out with new laws that will clearly define how the lease option works and treat it more like a seller carry back with Dodd Frank protections.. 

While I would love to keep it for just us, having rentals to cover the full cost of carrying the property has been great.

Renting at a $220/month loss (about $5K/year) could allow you to hold out for future appreciation, but you’ll carry ongoing losses.

In my contracts I always ask for more earnest money than I put in myself, that way, it covers some of your carrying costs and due diligence related costs.

@Timothy Blackman With probate properties, heirs are typically looking to simply cash out, not carry any financing.

Owner carry back can have advantages to both seller and buyer.

Do you mean they need to do carry out the eviction themselves?

My advice if you could build a small team with payment of 50% or some sort of percentage of your spreads as payment .8 director of your marketing campaigns it will be that employees job to buy things like the Deal Automator that makes marketing easier and more consolidated and less all over the place Carry what did Deal Automator does is take all tools you need as an REI and consolidated into one platform

Additionally, Mezzanine Debt may sometimes allow for a second lien recording, providing an extra layer of security.On the other hand, Preferred Equity generally does not carry a maturity date like debt instruments.

The only issue we have had getting the claims paid is when we filed against the renter's old policy and not their renewal policy, however our sister company in Denver (who initially turned us on to Rhino) have stopped using it after a couple of issues collecting.We have tenants carry 2x the monthly rent in Rhino coverage in lieu of a traditional cash security deposit.
