When the time comes, approach him calmly and reasonably and simply tell him that you've been thinking about it a lot and they only way you can continue to work for him is.....and then lay out your terms.

I'm just fishing for a way to increase my income and my intuition is telling me that REI is it...it's just not completely telling me how.

With a lot of effort (which is what we're all saying above), you might find a 75% deal.This is a great and easy to understand layout of the evaluation process and the net results based on the all-in %'s.

Im thinking the privacy, acreage, and view might make up for the inconvenience of the reverse layout.My question is, with all else being equal, how do you feel this layout would compare in both retail price point and saleability?

@Nate Smoyer, As a customer I found the features to be mostly comparable for my use with innago, tenantcloud and avail. with 60 units at $5/unit/mo, avail would work out to be more expensive than appfolio or buildium. in avail's favor I found the interface to be more polished than innago and more intuitive than tenantcloud.

Then i can try and find a re hab to fix and sell.Is it worth putting an illegal suite in basement ( the house has a great layout for basement suite.)Any advise or comment are appricated.

However make sure that you explicitly lay out in the contract for this deal how either party can buy out the other.

The first thing they want is proof that you are going to pay them back.It doesn't seem intuitive, but the no money down deals are much much easier to find if you've got money and good credit.One thing you could consider is to buy just one of those buildings.

PRELIM LAND PLANNING- do a preliminary layout, please remember stream buffers, speciman trees, ANY juristictional waters (its a good idea to have you county water systems guy come walk your property with you to verify any juristictional water systems and what the required state and county buffers are for those systems).

Show me the layout of the house and for sure tell me what is load bearing and I may change my mind.
