Scott, This strategy is called "lease buy back" and is now illegal for example in the state of Ohio and I think (not sure) illegal also in the state of Illinois.I agree with Mark - this strategy is going to land your investor in jail.

If I had a couple houses under my belt, this conversation would be totally different.Key is, all of my sellers know what I do, all of my buyers know that I don't mark up the price ridiculously so I can make my money, so they literally pay a small fee so they can make their money.I've never had a scenario where I've had to close on a house with my own money because I couldn't find a buyer, but if that day ever comes I know I'll be prepared for it.
