Hi William.I maintain a Lowes Pro card that I use every time I make purchases either online or at the store.

I am about to read it for the second time now ;) Thought I'd hit the forums as a last resort. 

You pay them something now for the written right to purchase the home at a later time.

@Chiane Martin the biggest challenge to doing Boarding Houses successfully is investing the required extra time.LTR - take the least amount of time, but time required increases as you go from Class A, to B, to C, to D.MTR - take more time than LTRSTR - take more time than MTRBoarding House - can take an insane amount of time to manage!

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve spoken with locals that say they avoid patronizing Ybor due to this.

If YouTube had existed back then, he would be a Grant Cardone of the times.

What if power availability is compromised by the local utlity by the time you are entitled, etc.

Relatively local, but I DO NOT want to manage my own properties, and well, can't given other time constraints, so a property management company is a must in the decision making.Each home is paid for, each needs about $15,000 in rehab to make rental ready.

My day job is very time consuming and I wanted a way to get into real estate investing that I could do on the side. 

I’d just have to figure out how to come up with rehab costs, and learn about seller financing a bit more within a short time frame.
