Is it better to do it one by one (rental, residential, or equal) so that I have a better d/e ratio or can i do it all at once through different lenders?

Hi @John Alosio, en essence a lease-purchase option is simply a lease with an added "right" for the buyer, namely the right to purchase the property during the option period under the pre-established terms and conditions.So, if you entered into a lease-purchase agreement with the tenant in Unit 2, everything would remain the same for you until and if they execute their option to purchase. 

As someone looking to purchase a property, this affects you because if you have tenants who can’t pay, you will be in a bind to execute your business plan.

@Griffin BaumoelI have some contacts for specific trades that I would be willing to share.

That applies when a tax exempt engages in a trade or business on a regular basis.  

There are plenty of resources on this blog to get started like the Ultimate Real Estate Investing Guide and this article about the BRRR method.You'll want to get a sense of what your motivation for this is; a desire to invest in real estate is a great first step that plenty have, but follow through falls short once people realize they actually need an executable plan.
