So if you were to approach the seller with a lease option, I'd do so as a lease option assignment (if your goal is to get some quick cash out of the deal, rather than owning).

Have you looked into that approach? 

I would approach them.  

Go to the County Judge's office and ask which lawyers file the most evictions and get a copy of their documents as public record so you can see how they do it and use that as your guide if you want to do it yourself.I'd be curious to hear how many hours per month you and your family allocate to managing this property using your approach.  

Once I acknowledged that everyone lives differently and there's not really anything I can do about it, I let it go.We've still have our standards, but have adopted a pay-as-you-go approach.  

Biggerpockets.com has been an incredible resource opening my eyes to all the possibilities 

But Verizon approached me and ask for lease of the land beneath the tower (about 150 sf) to build a cell (they will take care of landscaping/maintenance)  so they can use the tower (not sure about any deal between Verizon and Oncor).

In the majority of my deals, I can usually find solid lease option buyers in less than 30 days, so marketing an option now that can't be exercised for two full years is incredibly premature.

incredible idea and extremely generous!

.#1 tip would be to start listening to the bigger pockets podcast, start at number 1 and work your way through them all, there is some incredible information on there from some excellent investors.
