Joel Owens,While I have your attention, I'd like to clarify a couple of things with respect to commercial lending.

I look forward to growing my knowledge through everyone's respective expertises.

Since it is to a company I would then argue the commercial nature of the lease without respect to the property type (ask your attorney).If that is the case your LLC can then be responsible for PITI as well as maintenance.

The value of an option is set based on the price set to buy with respect to the value of the asset over the time of the option.

In the end, the SSA for your respective state ought to be considered the final authority.  

I have a nice investment that I can manage, it is cash flowing now and I expect to get a respectable ROI in the mid-future.

It would get you into something respectable if your talking about a lower down payment.

Section 8 status is relatively easy to lose if someone is a bad tenant and, because of this, you tend to have tenants that treat you and your properties with a high level of respect.

Added bonus, depending on their response you'll either gain respect for them or clarity on why you're moving on :) 

Obviously there are always exceptions, but I actually have a lot more respect for them than I did when I started.
