I'm curious to what the experts on here will say but I wonder if you can make it a condition, even if just verbal until everything is signed, that you will move on the deal when the current occupants sign your lease option for the $140-150k.

You need to find like properties (similar size, features, condition, etc) in the area that have sold in the last 3 months and make adjustments for differences (small differences in sq ft, etc).

Take a look at this contract: http://www.trec.state.tx.us/pdf/contracts/20-11.pdfYou will see that most things are negotiable (there are blanks and checkboxes everywhere), and there are conditions in which you can get your EMD back, depending on which contingencies are being used.

Obviously I lack the social graces to apply as a mod....LOL;))

I always fill out a detailed report ahead of time (i take a couple of hundred high resolution photos date stamped as well to document condition), then go over it with the tenants when they arrive.

Find an area you are interested in, and get to know what is listed, what's the listing price, condition of the property, size, lot size, etc.

It seemed like it was in pretty good condition (from the outside) not too many cosmetic issues at all.Anyway, I am wanting to know and learn the steps from where to go from here.

Tenant was nice gave me a lot of info, they pay rent to a management company and house is in OK condition ( she let me inspect only the outside) .

What social media to you use?
