What risk do you have by choosing to rent anyway?

Just an example Yesterday, my motivated seller’s earnest money put up in a escrow of my choosing, Today, my cash buyer’s earnest money put up in a escrow as well howeva Its with his own title company which is different from my initial escrow, that I had, So tomorrow how will I transfer escrow funds from my original title company & put those with the cash buyer’s title company of choice?

The other is a shooting star that looks pretty for a while, will burn out soon, ruin your reputation, and eventually you will run out of suckers to swallow.I choose a sustainable, transparent, AND profitable business model.So I guess it all boils down to personal preferences. 

I think this is because I added those little upgrades that make people choose my unit over others when they are looking around and willing to pay the $50-$100 more per month when compared to other similar units.

There are a lot of considerations when choosing to invest with a sponsor like the team, the track record, market preference, type of property, business thesis, return profile, etc. 

People who see problems, and people who choose to try and fix them.

Typically I have heard of lease purchases being done in order to get a better price for the house, but I wasn’t sure if anyone out there was choosing to do it for the tax benefits as an investment strategy.Thanks in advance...

So if its 60% owner/occupied and 40% investor and the investor portion is full, you may not be able to purchase and worse, when you go to sell, you may only have the option of selling to an owner/occupent...and if the owner-occupant knows that there are a bunch of renters in there, they may choose to buy elsewhere.Again, just my personal opinion.

At the end of your search you should choose whatever product is a better fit for your particular situation. 

It's largely based on what you want or need as a real estate investor.FYI -- I covered this in some detail and depth in one of my earlier episodes titled, "Choosing the Right Neighborhood" (episode PREI 007).Hope that helps you out.Continued success!
