I have software that analyzes deals for me since I get so many, I just add the "fudge factor", unknowns, there is a calculation for that most just throw out numbers lol.

Does the difference of the loan's face value and the discount amount they pay not factor in (i.e. loan amt $170k they pay $136k and they get $34k in additional profit once the loan is repaid in full?)

I target markets and assets that have these two major factors: 1.

If money is the motivating factor I strongly suggest you do plenty of homework before you actually make the move.

The mortgage would cost you almost twice rents, then factor in vacancy/repair/capex reserves and you are majorly negative cash flow assuming you are financing with a typical down payment.

@Aaron KlattI am factoring more then enough time into the lease option to comfortably reach the needed credit worthiness to use traditional financing to complete the purchase and repay the initial capital lender

The late summer season is a big factor tho.

The name on title is only one determining factor.

There are other factors that come into play also during a wind mitigation survey - age of roof, shape of the roof, how the roof was framed, nails used etc.3.

If your wife/ family not coming with you for 1-2 years is the only option I wouldn't do it personally to me that would be the biggest factor.
