I manage the property and the tenants, pay the owner of the property a rent that meets their mortgage plus a little profit, charge fair market rent from the tenants I sublet to, and exercise an option to buy the property after a predefined term and at a predefined price.This way tired landlords don't have to manage their property anymore, and I start investing with little to no money.

It is really targeted at gross overuse. for sure. i just ensure it's in the contract to that I can exercise the RIGHT to charge it if I want to. 

My wife and I would go running for exercise and we had a chance to look at several of the neighborhoods.  

Exercise caution and explore alternatives before considering them

This exercise will help you establish which of the two properties best aligns with your long term goals.

This is especially important if you're on the younger side, as those returns can compound significantly over the next few decades.I'm in a small real estate mastermind group, and we all did this exercise with our own portfolios and identified underperforming properties and equity to reposition, and presented it the group for feedback.

However, for the purpose of a healthy and helpful discussion, I invite you to the the do the following exercise to get the facts first:1.

The tenant-buyer has time to fix their credit and save more money for a down payment during the option period, then exercises their option - fulfilling their desire for home ownership.

Of course I was aware there was no curb and gutter at time of purchase and that there was an easement in place, and which hadn't been exercised since year the properties construction in year 1960. 

The resources we had:- a bank (conventional) that lends money up to 35k for 650 credit score- hard money lender with APR 120%- seller/community (who acts like he doesn't want to talk at all)- a real estate mentor that costs $35K to useThe "answer" to this exercise was:Use personal credit to borrow from the bank and spend the $35k on mentor, and then mentor has the "connection" with the community bank to negotiate a deal and brought a 70K property for 40K with FMV of $140K.
