@Billie Jo this was more about creating a management co to receive "management fees" that would be established as a S-corp for purposes of employing me and some family members that help me with the business so i could write off employer's portion of FICA taxes and have an ability to purchase group health insurance through the business. my properties are set up in regular LLCs that pass income to me personally as S-corps have double taxation. at least it was my understanding of the tax side.  

When the prospective tenant is ready to exercise the option to purchase, he will exercise his option to purchase from you and do a double closing where he never takes custody of the home but collects a check for his profit from the transaction.  

Home prices are lower (compared to across the street in SE, which are double the price) as in $175k compared to the invisible border that separates DC & MD, where DC homes are high $280k (For the SAME property size/type!!!).

Tear down lots for custom single/double builds here are the new hot item right now!

This avoids double closing and needing transactional funding.

Investor buyer who thought he was building this relationship.. that for a deal like that .. here is the listing agents number please call and go direct let them double end it..

In my opinion BRRRR works best when you start with all cash, partly because it more or less then assigns one group of finance-related closing costs to each property, rather than double-hitting the first property, but if you do enough deals the costs amortize out and it really doesn't matter all that much.

I am making the check out to the lender and I am going to double check and make sure that he is allowed to do it.

@Dara Diallo I agree with Lloyd, double check to make sure it is assignable.

double close and the seller will not know you are profiting.
