Is it bad to put too many eggs in one basket?

I don't know enough about lease options to feel like I can make it an educated egg in my basket at this point so I want to study up on that more here and with local people doing it successfully (like @Tyrus Shivers ) .I like your verbiage above - will use it in the future.

I eat, sleep, breath real estate.

Having said that, if you like the deal and can get past getting screwed on the deposits then you may just want to close and eat the loss.

That sounds a tad bit risky, I would save your money so you wouldn't be putting all of your eggs in one basket.

We hope to accelerate our mortgage payments, pay off this house and build a nest egg over the next 10 years.

I've been threatened, had a gun pointed at me, hung up on, and made numerous contacts that "disappear" at the moment of truth, but I can eat an elephant as long as I take it one bite at a time.

Eat well, stay fit, and sleep well.

The property management company is strict dti of 27%, no lates on the credit report in the last year, and verified income/background check.I feel okay since my raise is more than that it's about double that after tax, so essentially they (tenants) are paying my mortgage and that's after fees and assuming 90% occupancy.It might be easier if I had tons of money saved, but I only have about 12k in savings and would hate to eat all of that plus more in a sale.Seems okay to me what do you guys think?

With attorney's, they all eat.
