It will be a 50/50 profit split when the houses sell.

I have a house that we have had managed near Austin that we need to sell for personal reasons. 

Or, could I even sell in 18 months if I'm in the Indy area that length of time?  

Sometimes you can find someone that is willing to sell to you at a discount since they are tired of owning it, and want to use the money to focus on a more passive investment.

Great Thank you Mark for your asnwer, very helpful.I am looking as something a little more " done deal" thank an option to by as from what io understand the seller can still sell to other parties. is there a close that stops that?

If youre not trying to sell me anything maybe we could meet in Greeley Windsor someday.Brett n Chrisann ReeseGreeley

The lenders have loan products they want to sell.

It's better to connect and build rapport and let them ask you for deals.Reach out if you have any questions or need help selling a property. 

After selling the house on a lease option, I left some money in the deal (about $15,000).

If pressed in person, I'd be cordial but vague, non-committal and in a hurry, I might imply that I"m considering selling or something completely unrelated to him.
