You must get a lot of exercise to get rid of all that stress.

If they don't then exercise your escape clause.....Very short version....But, definetly the version that works time and time again...good luck

Besides those on Bigger Pockets, The ABCs of Real Estate Investing is a really simple book and has some very practical exercises that you can complete when you are analyzing different properties.  

@Dennis DoughertyMost banks probably won't exercise the "Due on Sale" clause as long as payments continue coming in.  

The lease option deal is foreign to me, other than someone pays a fee for the right to exercise an option to purchase the house at a given time for a given amount.

This was just on on-paper exercise, but I plan to leave all the cash flow in a dedicated reserve account until I hit a certain threshold, I was planning on $5K.

If so, I suppose another value add would be to potentially save the flipper some sales commissions, as well as an ability to close quickly if I exercise my option to buy at 80% of FMV.Cheers,Ethan

In this spreadsheet you will notice that the investor gets $20,000 nonrefundable cash option fee from the tenant buyer and collects a higher cash flow but still retains ownership until the option is exercised.

You're going to get your teeth kicked in once in a while, so use that to better yourself and your business and be an exercise in improving your grit and move FORWARD.Just remember, most of the battle is outworking and outlasting your competition.
