I would change my tone with the old contractor and notice him in writing he's not welcome back to the property and you are looking into option to hold him accountable.

I am not sure if this is the right place or not but I wanted some input into any obvious issues with my lease option offers to the tenant buyer that earns plenty of income but doesn't have the cash right now and wants to improve credit before purchasing but would like to lock in the price as our market is still struggling with inventory. 

I'm in Atlanta, GA which gives me fewer options with that budget unless I go with condos with HOA's that allow rentals, or venture out to towns outside of Atlanta like Macon, GA, Athens, Lagrange etc...

That seems to really restrict the buyer's options and avenues for closing.

I would recommend reaching out to a few to get a better handle of your options.

If you are already BRRR-ing, then you should have options with less down, probably closer to the 15% down ballpark.

Once you add up the lost rents, damages, and increased liabilities this tenant brings you're better off starting proceedings now.Another option?

I see value in both, but I'm unsure which is the better option.

@Juan Lizarazo plenty of options around.

Is sending out some goombas to break knee caps an option?
