Ron Legrand mentions that one should first make sure the seller will entertain a lease option or owner financing deal before you go running around all over town wasting time with time wasters.KarenYes, when I contact FSBOs and FRBOs, I was trying to keep the email short and simple at first and not throw too much at the seller, just to see if they would even entertain a terms deal.  

I have seen the show, drama, staged, not really reality but entertaining, probably much like the program.Really, what other industries have idiots that get sucked into such hype?

Adult protective services just called asking if he could collect his things.

Did you run background and credit checks on all adults? 

Only a very specific and rare seller will even be able to entertain the idea, and of those only a small amount will benefit from the arrangement.

Sorry if I was confusing about tax, having paid self-employment tax my whole adult life, I think of it as SS, and I'm so resigned to taxes that I didn't even realise we weren't paying any SS on our RE cashflow.

This is a grey area and tax pros, as well as their clients, have options that should be entertained based off of everyone's risk tolerance and individual tax positions.There is no black and white here.

I’m unsure what this summer will bring though with Covid...will people be anxious to get out in the sun, or still scared to go out with limited dining and entertainment options.
