My point again though is with the 2% rule how will properties ever increase in value if rents never rise or only rise very minimally.? 

Schedule delays also cost a lot more on big projects than small ones. 

Are they wanting to structure things to minimize taxes or is liquidity a bigger motivator?  

Neither I or the Lender are the cause of the delay.

What I believe they are doing is taking a property that wouldn't qualify for FHA and similar financing and doing the minimal necessary along with carpet and paint.  

@Dom Allen @Brian Huber - Hey Guys, sorry for the delayed response.

They had some issues on the loan that delayed closing.  

The things that have happened to properties while silver keys have been checked out is very minimal.  

For demo work you could hire unskilled workers, and only need a minimally qualified supervisor to make sure they keep moving.If you do decide to the full job, or want to investigate the possibility further, get The book on Flipping Houses by J.

I find homes all the time that need minimal work and are too much to get at a deep discount because the owners know that it's worth more but not in the condition that real estate agents are used to, to show and sell.So I wanted to know if there were any lease option investors in the area.Sandwich lease options are a great way to invest because you can cash flow and have the potential to make a nice profit when the tenant-buyer buys.
