In some places you can earn 20% Cash on cash.

The difference in interest is usually only around 0.5%, but in return you're agreeing to make this extra principle payment for 15 years.

In years past, ive had need of extra space for toys, tools, equipment, and when my hobbies outgrew my shop space.

Currently my tenants' payments on my mortgage (even without extra) pay more on principal than interest.

The problem is that most brokers are unwilling to go the extra steps to ensure that they have lease option documentation that satisfies state requirements for their agents...thus mitigating the risks and making sure that these deals will still be covered by their insurance carriers.

I'm definitely wanting to take a little extra time and money to one-up comparable houses so I can have pride in my work, give someone a house they believe is more than what they should be able to afford, make people happy, and sell the house faster!

If anyone could do a better job giving a black eye to the business, and earn the well deserved ridicule in threads like this, I don’t know who that would be.Jeff

The tasks I like to focus on are the things where a few hours of work will earn or save the business thousands of dollars -- essentially, these are the tasks that are generating hundreds of dollars per hour.

My septic guys have always told me I don't need them - the extra enzymes - - - not the septic guys!!

Even if all goes well, with that much work, you are earning very little equity.
