I recently wrote a blog post on this very subject:Top 5 Reasons We Pros are TOTALLY Ignoring Your BP Forum QuestionsHope this helps!

Can anyone recommend a reliable and reasonable handyman in Philadelphia.

I was offered a lease option on one my properties recently and for essentially all the reasons you just mentioned, I declined.

I don't know the reasoning behind the eviction, but it's a real obstacle for folks to get housing with one on record.

The leases I had includes the option, no time limit, and no specific purchase price.So somewhere along the line, the tenant notifies you he will exercise his option to buy.As to why, plenty of reasons.

The reason I was wondering about FHA is because we won’t be able to fund a 20% downpayment for a conventional loan for a house on Long Island.

However I do not want to pay for another appraisal unless I am reasonably certain it will come out higher.

My partner and I are under contract to buy an apartment complex and it happens to be in an opportunity Zone we didn't even know it when we went under contract for the apartment complex and some nearby a couple of other complexes that we have and this one just happens to be in an opportunity Zone doesn't even appear to be a rhyme or reason as to why it's in an opportunity Zone. that being said it's not a redevelopment project and we're not going to be able to take advantage of the tax credit because there's no way that we can put a hundred percent additional Capital into this particular project but what it did is it got us thinking there might be another property nearby that does need that kind of redevelopment and so now we're actively seeking other properties in that same area that will help us build our existing portfolio and potentially get significant capital gains tax deductions at the same time.

This is reason #42 for only offering M2M leases.
