That said, we're approaching everything with our "eyes wide open."

The rules for Rent to Own vary widely by state.

Others are larger and need permits, hence "wide loads" status.  

Here are a few recommendations for you:Find and connect with other BP members that are in your area: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meet Set up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts Read Beginner’s Guide: http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investing Check out BP Podcasts: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/category/podcast/ If you wish to tag someone in the conversation on the forum, type @ followed by their name and then select that person below.

Within each set, there's a fair amount of options for selecting different styles and materials.  

However, I am prepared to pay, I'm just more careful with my selections now... live & learn.Like I said before, the information you provide on this site has proved to be more valuable than some of the other programs that I actually paid for and I'm sure there are many other BP'ers that would concur.Thanks for the info. and I'll be getting back with you.

Buy in a desirable area, near the metro if possible so it would be easier 1. to market it, get many applicants and have more choices to select a good tenant. 2.) ideally get more professionals/steady income renting who will hopefully give you less headaches.

Everything comes up and appears correct in the message (names are highlighted appropriately and selecting from the pop up box), but it does not transfer over to the thread correctly.

Plus, most 9 states have no franchise or corp tax for general partnerships unless you make an S election.

I would suggest identify a few markets that meet your criteria and then seek out the tk providers in those markets, narrow them down and then make your selection .
