A brokerage like KW is about selling property, not employing investors looking to make money that way (as opposed to traditional representation of buyers/sellers).

This is not rent to own at least as what it is traditionally understood to be.  

To summarize, spending your rental cashflow instead of saving it like you have been will have no bearing on your taxes, provided you weren't putting some in a traditional IRA or something.  

It's a totally different value to a guest.With your type of property, it probably makes the most sense to market your property through more traditional channels.

@Bruce Clark Essentially what the seller is saying is that the property won't qualify for traditional financing.

A traditional lender (bank or credit union) will account for your monthly expenses, including taxes and insurance on all real property.

I am not an expert but I have looked into converting a traditional driveway (pull in, back out) to a through driveway (in Poway, not in San Diego). 

The beautiful thing about cash value is that it can provide about 2 to 3 times the income of the same amount of money in a traditional retirement account.

The tradition on the crew I worked for (my buddy's business) is they took a sack lunch to work Monday through Thursday.  

Second, if the person actually lives in the house that you (the owner) also reside in AND is the only other person like that in the home, then you don't have to go through the normal unlawful detainer process that you would for a traditional tenant (assuming the property is in California where you're located).
