His boot camp training is increasing in cost immediately and needing to decide on an upcoming event.

So, I'm looking to buy a rental out of state, perhaps Oregon, which is both close enough for me to check on and an attractive place for eventual retirement.

when you find an attractive deal you can get money, you just have to ask.

I have had good success attracting good residents by offering them a way to occupy the home, deduct most of their payment (interest and taxes) for tax purposes.

However, I do not know whether this will be attractive to investors and I do not know whether to set it up a a limited corporation or a partnership.

In this way you'll know exactly what your price range is, and your offer will be more attractive to the seller.Contact me directly if you have further questions.Best,Adrian

Doing a lease purchase increases my liability because I am obligated to purchase the property at the end of the term but on a lease with the option to buy gives me the rights to purchase the property at the end of the term with the option to walk away.As an investor I want to avoid liability at all costs or at least reduce my amount of liability.If you do the lease option correctly you will earn money right away, a positive monthly cash flow and future income.

BUT, looking at the increased traffic on zillow.com, realtor.com, and other watered-down freebie sites, suggests that if they did not have to pay, they would view.

So yes he will earn a profit, but if you don't have cash then you have to increase your capital base in the property (either through another loan, or by adding equity/cash to the equation).All of that being said...

This is probably the easiest place (IMHO) to impact your margins and reduce costs / increase cash flows by doing it yourself with a few software tools.
