I have more equity in one piece of property than that.

It has gotten to the point where you just can't find a good deal on the MLS anymore and even many of the wholesale deals out there are not that good of deals anymore because everyone is trying to squeeze as much as they can out of every deal and/or jumping on a daisy chain where everyone is trying to get a piece of the action.I'm not trying to discourage you, but be ready for some stiff competition out there!

However, looks like you're missing the part where the homeowner (seller) gets a piece of that option fee, and what you're talking about is a variation from a traditional lease option, so you'll need to do things a little bit different to account for those variations.Look at it this way - if I'm going to offer you (tenant / Leasee) a 2 yr lease option at 200k:Leasee is going to make a down payment of $20k  (this can be whatever you negotiate).Principal is now $180kMonthly rent payments of $1,300 for 2 years.  

Is there a closet somewhere with the same flooring where you could "borrow" some pieces and then just carpet over the closet?  

I am a little nervous about selling the condo and then looking for another piece of property to do the exchange with because I live in a rural area and there are not an abundance of properties to pick from. 

I've jumped into the mix and am swimming after my piece of the pie. 

I do a 5000 piece mailer for my credit card processing business.

This piece of property was prime for a creative finance deal. 

My thoughts are I'm going to go get this piece of paper and then I'm going to go knock on the guys door.

i recognize that i am only one of many clients and i am as flexible as i can be without compromising progress on my project.second, when i need a specific piece of my project completed because it is critical to progress, i give the relevant contractor as much notice as i can of the exact timing i need.
