@Jay NeilI would suggest you contact an attorney in Texas as I have heard that lease options in Texas have to be carefully and properly done.

I love to travel and spend time with friends & family and I see how a healthy portfolio of rental properties that is properly set up will allow me to do that.My life currently revolves around real estate and business as I'm working my way through a mile-high stack of books, constantly read blogs & newsletters, and frequently attend educational seminars & networking events.

I just open the meter box and use a pair of vise grips to turn them off

I did have one house I sold that came with a used but in decent shape washer/dryer pair in the basement.

The LLC can offer asset protection if executed properly.

If this goes well, We may all hold for cash flow, or some may want to sell, not sure at this time.What is the proper way to structure this deal?

Sorry it took so long to get you properly welcomed - sometimes posts fall through the feed too quickly and get lost.

If you feel it was converted was it converted properly?

Thanks so much for the input,guys.I would insist on proper soil testing be done for sure, and it sounds like having the seller install an above ground tank may be the simplest way to resolve the issue once the UST is removed.

Just get good insurance, maintain it properly, sleep well.
