Three RE locals take the opposite opinion in the article, so don't be too alarmed.

Hello Matthew,I'm a banker in SoCal and many of our clients utilize LLCs for their RE Holding Companies.

There are hundreds of thousands of RE related website so ask yourself what you can offer and do different to keep them coming back.

To re-preform the property for the higher rent you would need to put in maybe 15,000-20,000.

To me this is not a great fit for a lease option.I have one more separate and unrelated question re: lease options -- In your experience, how hard is it to do lease options when real estate agents are involved?

But I would at least try to re- negotiate a seller credit or something.

Tell them you will pay them cash for a quick close.When you do all that, then contact a local RE Agent to give you a list of all the houses in that neighborhood that have sold in the last 5 years with all cash.

We specialize in commercial brokerage and I would love to discuss with you what you are looking for and if I could be any assistance to you!

There is also a cost benefit to writing off some of the expenses you should discuss with your accountant or tax attorney.

I believe we are going to have to look harder and re-analyze what we can truly obtain with our criteria.
