@Jeff Filali - This is pure gold and a great mentality to give some fire and focus to a Monday morning!  

A refrigerator close to the door makes grabbing a drink or meat for the BBQ an easy task.

Their software is a pure guess

If I am looking at this deal purely based on numbers, you can definitely find some better.

This is purely a speculation play for equity.  

If you plan to pay out the cash (or if there is a risk of having to pay out the cash) within a year, then this is where that money should go.My "operating cash" relates to pure overhead.  

I saw that you're including your own rent savings, which is fair, but I'd also consider if the purchase would cash flow if it was purely a rental.

If any one knows of such a person I would love their contact info so that I might be able to reach out to them and at the very minimum have a cup of coffee, drink, or lunch to network.

(Pure option combined with lease to make lease option)Perhaps putting something in the contract along the lines of: (Illustration purposes only)- Seller shall give to purchaser a concession in the sale price of ______ for closing costs.Then when the buyer goes to purchase the home, that concession MUST be written into the sales agreement.That is how I think it will work...but then again, I've been wrong before.

Reach out if you have any questions or want to grab a drink.
