Learned that lesson though, we'll exercise way more control this time, and limit customization.

Now run the same exercise for the principal paydown and factor in some cash flow / tax benefits on the side.You cannot get returns anywhere near this in the stock market or any other alternative with such certainty and low volatility.

I have found that if you do a good job up front ,  the seller is more likely to finance your purchase when you exercise your opinion . 

It was a trial and error exercise for us.  

@Leah Gober and anyone else: I was thinking a "tabletop" exercise would be interesting.

If we found a buyer before we actually purchased it who would pay us what we wanted we were going to sell it wholesale.Once the purchase went through we advertised it as a rehabber flip and started the demo.During different stages we added our desired profit and advertised it as a fixer upper.During that time we found a buyer through FB who wanted to purchase it once we completed it.We contracted it to them on a Lease option Purchase which means at some future date they can exercise there option to purchase but until then they are strictly renting it.So all that being said, we bought it at $10,000 put in about $20 in rehab (personal loans for some of this) and sold/optioned it at $67,500.  

If you remove the borrower from title, yes the bank can exercise the due on sale if they choose to.

. - if nothing else is done, then yes - when the option is exercised the depreciation has to be recaptured.

In Missouri, it is illegal for any individual or group to participate or direct any military tactics, so those inclined play paint ball as "clubs" as an excuse to run a tactical exercise in the woods.

If you're just cold calling without proper targeting, I'd imagine that's an exercise in futility unless you are doing so on a mass scale with cheap labor.
