I could move up the date, but prefer it this way from a bill payment standpoint.

This all takes time, effort, and the ability to know how to arrange and structure each piece of the puzzle.

Some pros: no large cash down payment; no bank/lender qualifying in order to control the property; ability to walk away from the deal at the end of the lease if things are not working out, and minimal risk.

I have been spreading the word and trying every path that I can take, Chamber of Commerce, Business fund ability, bbb, Score, Banks and so forth trying to see if some one can help me out.

I have been disappointed in several agents and their ability to do comps.

The agent you work with should have an understanding of who to talk to and should have an ability and desire to make contact with parties he/she may not know in order to get the package exposed to qualified, competent and capable counter-parties.

There products and ability to work with someone like me was a big reason I went with them.

Having your mortgage paid by someone else will give you freedom and the ability to save much more than most people ever could.

You have the ability to partner for sure with an investor.I have done this myself & it can work when structured correctly.

You're slowly selling the house rather than building up an asset.If you use your ability to shelter gains, and do "low speed fix and flips" where you buy a junker, live in it and fix it up over the course of two years, and then sell it at a tax-free profit, then it really can be an investment.And, if, as David Niles says, you pay it off and leave it to the kids, then they have not only a nice asset, but also get it with a stepped up basis, avoiding taxes.
