@Tristan S. so for my personal house it was on the sellers disclosure, for some wholesale deals we've done i asked. and thats how i find out the builders. and about knowing which ones are good or not per say, that is a lot of conversations with agents, GC's, owners, a lot of google reading reviews. 

I have considered this for a property I have but it would not be a conversion it would be replacing a 4 bedroom with a duplex because it is more in line with the larger parcel of property I own and a few other reasons. 

It's better to ride the lease out and not renew.I think you should have a conversation with your property manager.

Would be happy to have a conversation with you.

I will be sure to bring some ideas to the conversation.

Hoping to get some direction on this.We have a 4-plex under contract, which has actually been through a condo conversion meaning each unit has its own account with the appraisal district.

I don't have much experience with lease options at all past conversations with other investors.
