@Darrell Shepherd it does appear that most banks don't exercise their "due on sale" clause.

Those coming from a stable background usually have family who have assets and an attitude to help a family member in trouble.Do this exercise: Add a $10000 retrofit into your ROR calculation.

What I am wondering is I thought if I put a flex option on a property and exercise my right to buy, that I would be able to do a purchase contract and either assign or double close to my buyer.It sounds like he just wants to sign an agreement with me and I give him the end buyer.

And as you said, a savvy investor might be willing to acquire and exercise the owner's redemption rights.

It seems to me that if the home is overpriced that it may present a problem for the tenant/buyer when they are ready to exercise their option to purchase.

With the option the tenant can exercise the option at any time between now and within the next 4 years at the price of 160k.

Are you looking to hit a certain personal record for cardio, lifting? 

I did entertain some stuff in Chula Vista as an exercise in research mostly. 

You can look at quite a set of numbers-- 6, 7, even 8 figures--if you just pay yourself first and utilize index funds (especially tax free/deferred).But real estate let's you profit from your own hand, interact with others (especially self managing), and even get some exercise (snow shoveling in winter or painting in summer).
