If you connect the lease (right to rent the property) and the option (right to purchase) you will be providing the renter/purchaser certain ownership rights that are above the rights of a tenant.  

Is the 15% down with no insurance allowed because it is inferred that the tenants will have renters insurance?

how are the renters?

Purchase price: $94,000 Cash invested: $94,000 Bought an SFR that had a lease in place and the renter wanted to stay.

Thank you.From your perspective, do renters think that these rent controls will guarantee that they will get a rent increase every year? 

Capex is likely going to rise quicker than inflation, renter's income to rent ratio is going to be tighter than ever.

You're better off building a stable tenant base with long-term renters for more predictable income and less turnover.

If an renter is crafty or the landlord is gullible, I could see the landlord agreeing to pay them.

Any rent increase will be offset by the damages they cause to the property.Figure out how to end their lease and replace them with a good renter.

For the individual renter their income determines how much Section 8 will pay, not to exceed 40% of the tenants income.
