(BTW, this is not a political statement, it's the order of battle plan for overseeing housing, LOL)Back on topic, if one were to do some deal over a 3 to 5 year period, IMO, the SLO is by far the least desirable contract, a straight lease option would then follow, a contract for deed would be better and the Sub-2 would be the best since title is conveyed.

Regardless, I expect it could just turn into a miserable 3 way legal battle with the insurer and SDIRA provider since I see their website disclaims “Equity Trust is a passive custodian and does not provide tax, legal, or investment advice.

To contrast the uphill battle, your current knowledge would have to compete with folks like or similar to Bill and myself.

Also, I'm concerned that I may start off on the wrong foot with the new neighbors if I rent the place out and we just fought a legal battle over the property line.

Getting things done is all about tactics, connections, trust, experience, knowledge and knowing the battlefield while having the ability to win if there is a battle ......what's that worth?

I don't always enjoy it when Rich and Will do battle, but when I do, its typically because I started the thread and will enjoy the increase in influence.

At some point, there is going to be a big expense and you'll have to battle out whether or not to spend the money.

It is a losing battle.

@Shane Johnson Thank you Shane, im always battling what I want to do vs. what i think has more "selling appeal".

It's been a long battle but low and behold she was finally approved for the new plan that Chase, BofA, Wells Fargo, etc. has going (Global Settlement Act *I believe).
