It seems that a lease purchase with stipulations to make the buyer responsible for repairs would be more advantageous than renting because the property owner wouldn’t be responsible for any repairs, they get a bigger up front payment from the sale of the option (which will help with vacancies) and if the buyer exercises the option at the end that’s a win too.

Instead of just jumping in and getting started, I feel the need to figure out every single detail and play it out in my mind before moving forward.The Bigger Pockets community seems like a vital asset to getting started in the real estate investing world.
