Hello Frank,It's fantastic that you are looking into your options! 

I would own the company as a Franchisee, but not sure if this a good option with all of the associated fees.

For instance, let's say you do the rehab and go to rent it...considering the relatively low value of the property, it's reasonable to expect that the tenants will have low or no credit, they may be unemployed or on income assistance, they may have minimal employment options, and/or they may have a very spotty history with prior rentals.

I have an option to purchase at an attractive price but would rather not bring cash to the transaction.
