Blue collar workers want the basic amenities (central air, dishwaher, etc.) plus lower than market rents so if you buy at the right price you can cherry pick those tenants and still cash flow.If you want to avoid tenants succesfully negiating away your profits you must have something they want that is in short supply.

It basically states that the grantee is "prohibited from conveying property to a purchaser for three months from the date of the deed.Are they basically stating that we have to wait three moths after we close before we can retail the property to our buyer?

Basically it works like this:1) Find/prospect for motivated sellers willing to do a lease-option on their house2) Find/prospect for tenants looking for a "rent-to-own" opportunity3) Put the 2 together and collect the option fee (or 1/2 of it) as your profit!!

If the lender forecloses the deed of trust out of court, the lender has chosen one action and may not bring a lawsuit to recover a deficiency, which would be a second action.

Basically you are working the deal backwards to see what makes sense for you as a net on the deal, and then decide if this will allow a good enough return to satisfy the money source.

Basically if you had a heartbeat, you qualify!

Like I have stated before. an investors "Basic" strategy should not really change due to market fluctuation, and in my opinion, balance is the key to any long term success regardless of market conditions!
