I would say it’s definitely more work, but cash flow is easily 15-40% higher than regular rentals here.

Starting with conventional loans: these are the “regular” mortgages that most people aim for.  

with lease option.. you still have a tenant, and you're a landlord, with seller finance you're the bank..........in lease option, I hear tenant takes better care, higher down payment, higher payments, maybe even does some rehab work, and often doesn't even exercise option,, this is attractive..the con is I've heard, if they stop paying, its not a simple tenant eviction, and could be long and expensive a year or more...maybe there are ways to avoid this by not crediting rent payments to purchase..its still not clear yet to me...I'am attracted to try this on a property i own in raleigh....or maybe just try a first seller finance....any local I talk to, agents and attorneys, they say dont do lease option and scares the crap out of me.....Im not convinced though yet....but seems like seller finance is an easier exit strategy for cash flow control..

@Adrienne MeltonYou will find many different opinions in this topic ..Most recommend to form LLCs in State you are doing business..I’m aware Nevada’ and I believe some other States are popular States to form Series LLCs.I learned the hard way starting out, most banks will give you hard time financing thru a LLC and the few that do you might end up paying higher rate..There are ways around that people purchase w their name and then transfer title do their LLC but then theres the possibility the bank may exercise “due on sale clause” although it seems nobody knows somebody that bank went forward on “due on sale clause” with today’s rising rates banks might have more incentive to do this..Here’s my 2 cents, it’s great that you’re thinking about asset protection.

They will exercise the same judgement on your property and economy.

There is no regular secondary market, and the most prominent buyers are already making this type of loan themselves.

Office supplies (prices regularly beat quill).

Toilets from the 70's regularly used upwards of 5 gallons per flush- modern standards are around 1.6 gpf.
