I tell people to start by picking a strategy (OOS long term, OOS short term rental, fix and flip, etc) THEN pick a market and submarket THEN look for good tools/people, doing it any other order tends to be an exercise in futility. 

Quote from @Hanna Brown: @Jay Hinrichs If the bidder at the auction pays cash for keys to get the homeowner out, does the person redeeming from the owner position (exercising rights of redemption w/in 180 days) have to reimburse them for those costs they paid to get the homeowner out? 

Hi All - This is a funny request but my fiancé and I recently did an exercise together where we wrote down 10 things we are grateful for, 5 goals of ours for the next two years, and 5 goals of ours for the next five years.

I really am enjoying this thought exercise. 

Do this exercise.  1.  

I realize this may be a fantastical scenario with no feasible solution but I thought it would be an interesting exercise.

We had 3 tenant buyers exercise their lease options in October.

I haven't yet established an offering strategy like this, and seems like an exercise for what is available.

Then when I exercised the option within a few months.

I have sold some properties years ago on lease options where the tenant buyers actually exercise their right and purchased the property. ( I was in the deed.)The reason I am concerned to tie another person’s property up  with the lease option is that people can change their mind, as in the seller.
