One of the most intriguing to me is using lease options, especially sandwich lease options.

My lease is going to be up soon and I want to move into a house that I can fix while I'm staying there.

Maybe nobody wants to lease that empty Toys R Us space to sell widgets ... but it might make sense to build apartments or condos there .

After meeting this applicant we became concerned because they had so many ammenments they wanted to make to the lease (the lease was not signed nor do we have a deposit from them), insistance of blinds in the kitchen area for privacy, plus we got an overall uneasy feeling about this person.

You can earn interest on that account as long as you make the tenant aware of that fact and they agree to it specifically in the lease. 

Perhaps a lease with option? 

I just signed a lease on our latest property in Sansom Park today which is next to River Oaks. 

One of my properties has a master lease so the entire building is rented day one and I start getting the entire rent check which makes for a very quick stabilization period. 

So I'm opening a new discussion.I currently have a townhouse in howard county MD with tenants where the lease ends in July.

Yes you can enter the property and provide access to PGW if you give the tenants proper notice according to your lease.
