So an investor buys the property, you pay them a down payment for the lease option then pay rent for a year and after a year you have option to buy it.What makes this challenging is the lease option payment would probably need to be around 20% of the purchase price but it sounds likeyou do not have it. maybe moving is just not in the cards.

Then after the units are stabilized (perhaps with some seasoning), you could get a bank/HML to refi this up for 75%-80% of the ARV.  

I contemplated appealing it, but I figured I would go after the PM instead, which I plan to do.

Conventional, after two hard money people fell through How did you add value to the deal?

Found the deal myself on redfin after house hunting for several months.

Don't keep your investment any longer after it matures.

I just signed a new client and after about 1 month of their listing being available, AirBNB delisted it/flagged for being a duplicate of a listing that previously had "quality issues".

They have been great – deal after the deal – investments where I continue to reap long term returns from properties I have rehabbed and flipped.

Show me some before and after action 

I'm not sure how attractive the numbers will be however when looking at HOA dues, insurance, taxes & the unpredictability of future costs with HOA dues.
