The lease should not mention anything about an option to buy, and the option should not refer to any lease. 

I was thinking along those lines that you mentioned Raymond about getting a property manager to help with selecting a good contractor.

I'm not sure the area my property is in would qualify for anything of the things you mentioned.

During the conversation I mentioned that I also own a single family property and he expressed interest in taking a look at it, which we did.

I would never do this because it is against previously mentioned second requirement.

You mentioned breaking even and also walking away with $20,000.

You mention 50k in one of your 11 responses to your own post trying to promote your property, and you mention 45k above. 

With that said, commercial loans can be easier to obtain and will sometimes be a better fit for your projects (as-complete rehab loans, etc).And just curious....how many random colleague requests and forum mentions do you get here with that name? 

Regarding metallic epoxy I forgot to mention it’s...- impervious to water, oils, paints, etc.

I'll look into those two areas you mentioned.
