I would prefer to have PM in place as well as a tenant in place, or at least know that the deal will not close until the tenant is in place.For full transparency provide a list of comps dated within the most recent month and only about 1-2 mile radius max (we know you need to make money on the sale but would help establish trust).Communication seems to be one of the biggest pain points I read about so maybe focus on that as well.

Accounting just increases the transparency of volatility in earnings."

You get permission to market the property, but you act as a principal in the transaction, you lease option, then you assign the deal.You are upfront with the seller, very transparent about your profit.You add your assignment fee to the exercise price.Once you assign & get the fee, you are out of it.All the risk is on the Seller.Challenge here: Getting Tenant Buyers Fee: Cash plus 12 month note most of the time.Positives: No guaranteeing anything, e.g. minor maintenance paid, rents paid.Negatives: No back end when TBer gets funded.
