@Josh Prince I did ask him today to go ahead and send me the MLS listings.

With your background, you are well ahead of the game.  

If you have a spouse or close family member that's another ten properties financed.I regards to looking ahead I would deal with one person so that they know your situation from A to Z. 

You want a variable rate, 20 year amm, 5 year loan with a balloon payment and rights of the creditor to call the note due without notice,  by all means, go ahead and finance your rentals as an LLC.  

Either way, the county wants it back on the tax roll so go ahead and grab the lien/deed as long as it's not a complete piece of trash.

Before the cart gets too far ahead of the horse here, have you checked out the finances and credit history of the lease/purchase wanna be?  

Just click it and you can visit any show.  

Indeed, the thought of pulling out walk-ins and hoods has kept me from going full ahead with a repurpose, hoping someone with some skill will step in to operate a fully functional space.

If I can say, "hey, that's a pretty good deal, if I had money, I would consider buying it", or, "that's an awful deal, the want a kajillion dollars above market value", I would be ahead of the game.
