I have been told to stay away from lease options in Texas.

Hi hive,I am new to investing and trying to learn from the different options out there.

But you have a few different options.

Since you want to aggressively invest in the near future, you will need cash and the 30 year option is the right one for you.

I wish the appointment was with him... its with an attorney at his firm, hopefully this attorney has a lot of experience and gives we several legal options... not another sales pitch. 

The other option, how I found BRRRR and learned some basics of it, was the Bigger Pockets book.

I do single family "off market" that I take over with owner financing, subject to, wraps and lease options.

The “borrower” would have an option to buy back the property if (1) all lease payments (“mortgage payments”) have been made and the borrower/seller pays is the sale price/loan amount in full at the time the option period/note matures.  

Yes, use of single office space did die off with COVID, but because there was not an option. 

Financing options do exist: hard money loans, renovation loans, and some traditional mortgages can be used on distressed properties if criteria are met.
