I recently closed on a property I intended to move in with my boyfriend as we are having our first child.

It costs us money to turn down a loan, both in real dollars and in lost opportunity. 

I have been talking out the new provision tax reform added.There is a possibility of avoiding a tax on your sale and also permanently avoiding tax on your new reinvestments with what’s called qualified opportunity zone. 

Not so good if you have the time and want to devote the effort into building your own team, you want to learn as much s possible about investing from the ground up, want the opportunity to maximize your equity etc. you get the general pattern.markets (mostly midwest, and some in south)Cleveland, Dayton, Cincinnati, Indy, KC, Memphis, Birmingham.

I'm still finding lots of opportunities in Phoenix and Glendale.

If the owner's main concern is it being a hassle, seller financing it to you would still allow them the opportunity to earn steady income off of the property.

All my friends should be jumping at the opportunity.

If you could do that and tremendously increase your equity, raise rents you may be able to improve your cashflow and then take out some of the equity and go invest it elsewhere.It seems like you are sitting on a huge opportunity to develop some equity, just have to look at all the scenarios and see where you come out best.If you sell, while you may get some walking money and a nice profit, you are likely leaving a lot on the table for the new owner to capitalize on.

I guess that is why I said "(not Texas except in limited circumstances)" ;-) Since he isn't in Texas it isn't relevant to him, but since I buy and sell in Texas I want those who also intend to buy and sell in Texas to be alerted that Lease Options have to be treated differently and they are advised to seek legal counsel if they choose to do Lease Options in Texas.
