Quote from @Sean Bramble: I’m in a similar situation - might have an interested seller who is willing to do a seller finance/ subto hybrid, but am scratching my head on how to actually get the deal structured legally … For subto you can get contracts from both Pace Morby and Flipping Mastery TV.

One is basically ignored and sits in front of the TV or on their tablet all day while the other is expected to do chores, taken on little adventures outside, given extra therapy and tutoring, etc.

How would I compete against a motel with tub/shower, color tv and telephones? 

I am not an attorney and don't play one on TV and don't rely on what I say.Ok, so after re-reading your post, here's a little more to the point.*  In my experience, a typical lease option is done by negotiating a CURRENT purchase price with the seller, based on today's value (not to be confused with AT today's value).

You on the other hand need to know a lot more than you currently know.And, then does it make sense financially.For the first, you can take the slow leisurely route of books, forums, videos meetups and time.

And the TV has him freaking out, if he sells now he will need to bring $25k to the table "what do i do James?!" 

When visiting my mom the TV is on full volume in order for her to hear it.

Oh wait...they literally made a reality TV show on this exact topic and a LOT goes wrong. :)All of my STR guest messaging is automated. 

Like tv ads, it could still work with a huge budget and limited expectations.

Just internet mind you, not TV.
