For a fun thought exercise, I'd look at what kind of a real estate investment you could make with a $55,000 investment. 

, and weren't trying call it due/exercise Due on Sale clause.

Kiyosaki's lawyer say the same thing - I signed up for RichDad coaching) mentioned that in his 20 or 30 years (can't remember which he told me) he has never had any lender exercise the due on sale clause in this instance. 

Keep in mind, RECA, the Real Estate Council of Alberta, has recently upgraded all of the rules regulating the realtors, and they have become quite strict with disclosures, being careful not to exercise undue power and influence over a seller if you're licenced, etc.This course has proved to be more exciting than I expected, however.

Lets say the seller puts in a 5 year call provision, and decides to exercise it.

Obviously, this "should" decrease the UW time, but these loans can take up to 9 months to close s making them an exercise in patience.

So, if you do a lease option, the main upside (if you believe buy and hold is better than financing) is hoping they don't exercise the option to buy and you keep the option money.

You can always listen when you are doing something else such as exercising, riding in the car, etc.

If he does end up exercising the option I am selling at a price that I am very happy with and don't care what he does with the place.
