Draw up an option to purchase that allows you to sublet the property or do a land contract if they are legal in your area for the property if he is unwilling to transfer the deed without getting paid in full so you both have something in the deal but benefits as well.

This allows me to do a 1031 exchange and get into newer properties with better tax advantages (once I have used up most of the depreciation from the previous rental), and it allows me to never deal with deferred maintenance issues that increase my cost of ownership.

You have about 7 days to do inspections, get bids, etc. and should the contract allow for contingencies, this is your time to get out, but risk losing EMD (This is where I may be wrong)4.

What are the downsides of allowing you to sub-lease?

Wish my schedule would allow me to attend more!

You can do as many deals under your line of credit as your approved line amount will allow.

There are no programs that allow less than 20% down on 2-4 unit purchases unless you are asking for an FHA loan for a primary residence.  

My experience has allowed me to manage multi-million dollar budgets and interact with C-Suite executives who depended on my advice to make decisions.

Most plans allow you to take a maximum of 50% of the value at the time of the loan request.  

Hi @Ryan Moore,If you get office 365, it will allow you to access online versions of all the programs as well as download to a single computer.
