Also, I recommend you get pre-approved for the cash-out Refinance loan prior to purchase.  

The utilities are post-paid, so he would only pay for services that occurred prior to me owning the building and taking over services.  

I would also think a more 'blue collar' demographic with more 600- 650+ FICO score 'potential buyers' (used to renting, thinking they needed an 800 credit score and/ or 20% down, to 'buy') with only a few grand to put down and little or no prior knowledge of their ability to 'rent to own' would be optimal to 'pre- quality' through a mortgage lender, as well as (re)educate people that there are also good reasons to 'rent to own,' aside from getting into a house to 'build equity.'

Then complete a title examination.

If you move out by x date I will offer you x dollars...OR do you say that you will offer them x dollars if they move out by x date but you must let me know 4 weeks prior in writing if you have Decided to move out by x date?

I just locked in with a different lender at 3.625% @Jesse Cabot with only about $2,600 to close which I think is great.. much better than 4.25% with $4,400 to close which was my prior lender.

The 1031 must be in place prior to the close of your sale.  

Many of us have pour hands tied.So, in our case, rather then spend hundreds and 6-8 weeks or more in court to obtain an order of entry, we decided to wait the 3-4 weeks and have a contingency of him providing the pics.There was no possible way such order would have been obtained prior to his move anyway, so it would have been a costly, fruitless endeavor.Don't believe me, read here: https://www.cga.ct.gov/current/pub/chap_830.htm#se...And yes, I know Sec 47a-16d (2) does state "as permitted by section 47a-16a" however that is contingent upon Sec 47a-16d (3) "pursuant to a court order"Without a court order, the "as permitted by...." cannot be upheld.

Also, I've been taking a look at a few of these deals and assuming that the loan is a first position lien + a personal guaranty, would you care more about the # of prior investments made by the borrower or the borrower's FICO score?
