@Mark W.Virginia is a very intensive legal state in real estate transactionsI would definitely consider getting my realtor license if I'm going to do this kind of business in VirginiaUnderstand that you can't guarantee that the tenant buyer will get the mortgage and I would have a registered mortgage loan originator look at every single tenant buyer applicationTaxation of option payments are not involved in lease purchase arrangements, they are earnest money agreements, not option money agreementsIf it was a true option payment, the money is taxed when the option is either exercise or expiresI train in leases, options and other kinds of agreements but I would recommend that if you want to do these transactions, you get licensed

There are things you will have to learn through some type of specialized education program (ie.

@Carlos EnriquezNo, I cannot access the tenant's FPL account number.I do have an account for that property, but it is the main house account, not the individual unit account.Just to be sure, I called FPL this morning and inquired about the rebate program and the rationale associated with the rebate program requiring a FPL account number for the AC install location. 

The property will qualify for tax incentives offered by the city with a downtown revitalization program.

The one they found had a specific program and could handle 3-season VHs as well as cabins - among other things.

I'm a new investor and I'm interested in moving to and purchasing a property in the central Florida area through the HUD program.

My two sources are about the same in every way except interest rate and seasoning.31 day seasoning, 6.99%6 month seasoning 5.1%...so, I use both for each property to take advantage of each program's benefit. 

One has done quite well and the other I just got earlier this year and am still "training" the tenant.

I'm also working on my bachelor's degree in Real Estate Studies through Marylhurst University's online program.

I have not done any major research into the real estate exam yet, but was wondering if any attorneys have actually taken the test without taking an exam program.
