I think I will keep an eye out for a gem on the coast in the future, but I don't think I'll pass up a deal here at home in the meantime.Also, I may need to hit the beach this weekend!

This doesnt seem correct so for future reference I am coming to the experts!!!

It seems that the ML would better align future interests.

I believe in a lease option the tenant buyer is now responsible for all repairs and maintenance of the property because they have the understanding that they are going to be buying it at a certain point in the future.

@Pablo GuzmanWelcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing.

If purchased property with 25% down, at 30 year fix, will cashflow to about 400-500 before future monthly repairs.

I appreciate the advise and may reach out more in the future.

I stock pile these items when on sale to use at a future date.

As I interview with different brokerages as a potential new Broker / Real Estate Agent, are there any specifics I should keep an eye out for, or demand from, my future brokerage? 

However, when I'm reviewing larger properties financials many of them do not include PM or future Cap Ex savings/expenses (saving money back for a rainy day or new roof, or boiler etc...).
