The list isn't important anyway.B - The process you are following, doing what I am assuming is a Sandwich Lease Option is as follows:   1 - Gain control of the property by signing a lease agreement, and an Option agreement (they are 2 separate agreements, and should NEVER be a single agreement...and never include references from one to the other) in the name of an LLC (you).   2 - Sub lease to the tenant (buyer).   3 - Sell an Option on your LLC to the Tenant/Buyer.   4 - When the Tenant/Buyer exercises their Option, they are buying the LLC.   5 - The Tenant/Buyer now owns the LLC, and all its assets...which include the Option to buy the property.   6 - In the end, the Seller never changes, and the buyer never changes. 

I am going to include my real scenario with as many specifics as possible so I can get the most detailed advice, I could use it.

This includes owner-paid utilities, maintenance, repairs, capex, advertising, legal fees, etc...

@Kevin Polite I'm hoping they'll include the Apartments.com postings as a part of our listings similar to the Realtor.com and Doorsteps postings, the more connected listings the less work doing them separately. 

With that being said, do you all recommend a newbie like myself first learn the intricacies and math behind successfully flipping properties before learning the intricacies of wholesaling including marketing?

The company who set up my first LLC, included additional documents like certificates for members, minutes information, etc. 

Upgrades include refinishing hardwood, new kitchens/bathrooms and finishing the 1000 sq ft basement. 

@Eamonn McElroy is correct, as usual.The only thing I would add is that the net income from the SMLLC that the owner receives will be subject to Self Employment Taxes, which would include social security and medicare.

It looks like you are calculating based on cash on cash, but I'd think you'd want to include some financing/debt service etc stuff in there too.There's nothing wrong with buying something for cheap.
