@Kal PaneliyaA contract can be amended before closing with the consent of all parties.

The hardest part is getting that first deal/property!

@Stanley Kong  There are disclaimers on listings.. any item on a listing is subject to second party verification.I really like the big bold one on the Charleston SC MLS system" if square footage is important measure"  this clearly denotes sq. ft. is estimated if you want it exact you need to do your own measuringIn the foreclosure or distressed asset business some of the best deals are when the bank or seller mis states sq ft..

I'm relocating to Birmingham, Alabama in a couple of months and I want to do a lease option to purchase on my first home and rent out the two other rooms to tenants while I'm living in the third room.

It sounds like the question comes down to if party 'A' keeps the SDIRA and party 'B' stays in the house, there is mostly the '20% difference' to account for. 

I advertise for a buyer for my home, I say, "financing available through third party," but I don't disclose the terms.

I would use a reliable 3rd party property inspector for this which will cost you about $200 - $400 based on the size property.Before doing that, definitely have a local realtor that's representing you look into it.  

> box in the gable with trim (ie. a triangular pediment) with a contrasting color to highlight the feature...prob same color as shutters. i would also paint the porch that color as well, or maybe a third complimenting color.

There will be extra fee's involved with a third party site aprox  3% surcharge... 

@Joe Belman I get the assigning part I sure exactly how to structure the deal because it wasn't a cash deal and how advertise a property that I didn't own but have interest in
