You've already mentioned at the top of this thread that you only want to work with qualified buyers (to ensure the buyer successfully exercises his/her option), so what's in it for the buyer to go through you?

I have been ensured that it is by multiple people.

To be able to provide better for them, and to ensure their future and well being. 

I have never bought a blank lot before and I know there is a lot of language that can be added to standard Ohio contract to ensure just not buying useless piece of land such as it is zoned correctly, soil is good, able to get parking variances etc.

I think alot of it is also i need to up my skills in motivating people to do awesome work and to be extremely clear in the instructions and ensure they fully understand!

I found my answer to my questions and others on this PDF online:https://www.fanniemae.com/content/tool/landlord-gu...In short:" A landlord must ensure that the tenant has access to a supply of running water, hot water, and heat in reasonable amounts at reasonable times (in units where the tenant has control over heat or is responsible for the utilities, this will not be the landlord’s obligation, except to ensure that the plumbing and HVAC systems are in good working order" [consult a lawyer to enter the terms on a rental lease and to ensure that you are not violating any laws.]"

A good way to do that to ensure your investment would be to deed the property over to an investment entity like an LLC and clearly define what the rules are between you before you start spending money on the property through the operating agreement for an LLC.
