One of these days, a renter will exercise the purchase option, the mortgage will be paid off.

We like our careers but being able to exercise that innovative thought pattern to freely think about a project that's personal to us vs a project that's required of us is much more fun and rewarding.

Great time to exercise that diligence in my opinion.

Proximity to shopping, coffee houses and exercise options are considerations, too.  

BTW, I generally don't do this part of the exercise since I have an attorney firm handle it (along with interfacing with the trustee... which sometimes can be a pain if you are not an attorney;) You will need to pay the sheriff for service ($30/person) and the cost of the writ ($25).

Do that exercise and find out.  

For this exercise lets choose Bakersfield.

All rights, powers, options or remedies afforded to Buyer either hereunder or by law shall be cumulative and not alternative and the exercise of one right, power, option or remedy shall not bar other rights, powers, options or remedies allowed herein or by law.

So lets assume for a second that there is that loan out there at is a performing rate lower then current rate and the lender does exercise their right to call...I wont buy and transfer title which I have control unless I see at the minimum 25% equity or 52k which ever is greater...
