I'm curious about the $52,250 excess cash.

If the damage is in excess of the $400 I will withhold from the security deposit.I have carpets in the upstairs portion of the house and the dogs and cats are likely to damage those.Her lease only expires next year.

Your funds are deposited into a trust account from which your monthly payment is then made, and the excess funds then remain in the trust account until enough has accrued to make the additional payment which will then be paid to reduce your principle.

However you should never base a buying decision on something as small as a 1 time 1 or 2  month excess of vacancy.

Or any way of asking might be what is the most important information a tenant buyer must provide prior to qualifying for a Rent to Own program without being excessive in that it might by 6 to 24 months before a mortgage can actually be obtained. 

I have been analyzing deals and see numerous examples where it does not make since to move forward on purchases, but somehow people are still making excessive offers.

Even a more modest debt like $50k will take any excess income that a young adult would put towards buying a home and put them 10-20 years behind previous generations, and that in itself will set back their accumulating wealth. this generation is well and truly f*cked.

After an emergency fund in the business accounts, we also saved up excess from the rentals so that they could buy the next property.  4.

If a $1mm property is depreciated halfway down to $500k and then exchanged for a $2mm property the basis in the new property should be $1.5mm for the $500k carryover basis and the $1mm excess over the original property. 

After that I would compensate them hourly if for some reason there were an excessive amount of things for them to handle during one month.
