.;-)You physically don't have room to make this space function. 

I give every single way I can think of to contact me, including a phone number that I answer every time it rings, email and physical address. 

Nice post Account Closed- in my experience (nobody has exercised so far on mine) and from what I've read, the % of TBs that actually exercise and purchase LOs is really low.  

You seem to be glossing over the physical toll many trade jobs can take on the body.  

I estimated the expenses at 12% more than the yearly expenses on my other existing property (which is 9 years old, also 3 units, same # of BRs, overall same physical condition, same neighborhood).

While working the first day on my first job I realized that I was destined to become an entrepreneur I just did not know how to start without any money and my own social anxiety.Now seven years later, I joined BiggerPockets for real estate investments I am willing to trade physical labor if I have to just for knowledge and friends in the real estate business. 

But then, it's always understood that NONE of the rent/lease payments go towards the purchase price - until the Buyer exercises their Option by getting financing and paying out the Seller - or, losing their Fee by just leaving or continuing to rent, or, renewing their Option with its new Fee.

If the buyer hasn't exercised his option yet then the property still belongs to the landlord.

I've been doing basic number crunching and thought exercises on something like 20 x 2/1 units at ~1000 sq ft/unit and rent out between $800-$1000/unit in the Houston area.

Finally, I put a physical FOR RENT sign in the yard, often a month or so before I know the house will be vacant.
