It’s pretty rotten if you’re just using it for a few isolated tasks, because absolutely, it doesn’t do any one thing perfectly and it’s not as fast as other apps.It really starts to show its brilliance once you start using it as your default bookmark/webclip app, notetaker, recipe box, repository of all your reference material, and so on.

It's also not a weird dimension, so cutting it in half would fit perfectly with the other lots around it in terms of shape and size.

As I thought about it, maybe a "LEASE OPTION" is a perfect way to get them in the house and take very good care of it as they would eventually plan to buy the home  I would close on the house and agree to the lease option at the higher sales price and they would rent from me until they were in the financial position to buy it from me Any thoughts on pros / cons?

Makes perfect sense.

The joint venture agreement might be perfect - I was thinking of some kind of alternative agreement with the buyer or seller.

Selfishly, I want him to stay closer to home so Dam Neck/Oceana would be perfect ;)Best of luck to you and keep us posted here on your journey!!
