Our sample size is too small to take much away from, but here is our two cents.We have a 4/3 and 2/1 medium-term rentals.

So I would not receive the option fee or earnest money.My dilemma was how to best give the up-front money from the "tenant buyer" to seller and have it count as a down payment if the tenant exercises the option to buy.

Some have ready to hand out recorded cds, sample credibility books, marketing materials, and answers to frequently asked questions.

Does anyone have recommendations, templates or samples for this?

I hope I am posting in the correct location...Is there anyone out there who could direct me to a few samples of Letter of Intents to purchase real estate notes.

@Frank Patalano absolutely :)@Luis Barrios Frank made a good point, there is a lot of private & hard money at the monthly group that meets in Warwick.I'd recommend attending and identifying a few people to network with, who are either lenders themselves or seem like they would know a few (Frank and I do, for example) and getting together with them one-on-one, then presenting your proposal - including some sample #s if you can put them together.It's tough since you don't really want to make it like a direct sales pitch.

I'm currently putting my primary residence into a Revocable Trust, and there should not be any due on sale clause exercised. 

-Matt  Mom comes to live with you, in return she helps make dinner, but gets to go out to dinner when you go out at no cost to her.She pet sits, baby sits and vacuums (good exercise) as needed.She gets here own room with her own wall mounted TV and stuff from her old house in a storage unit.She can park in the garage if it makes her feel safer (outside may have slippery ice or a steep driveway).She rents the house out at whatever the market will bear, after a complete (unit turn type) deep cleaning by paid maids.Any needed fixes are done and good SCREENED renters are chosen, maybe use a management company.Think tax problems when you might put yourself on the deed, allocate income between her and you.Send her on a cruise every 6 months to somewhere fun--Acapulco, Alaska, etc...If you have kids they will probably love having grandma stay there, and she can bring them souvenirs back from her travels.She could also join a bowling league for those of her own age and gender, which is also good exercise.Good Luck!

Maybe I haven’t hit a large enough sample size yet, but it seems to me that much of the focus of BP podcasts has been on cities in the South, Midwest, and West.

Below are sample questions.
