First of all, if you have a rental house then it is an investment designed to make you money.

Are there any resources that one can use in order to "design" a payment structure on a "lease option"?

I know I can dig through sold listings individually, but didn't know if anyone has found a way to aggregate the necessary data to see lists of homes which were sold twice within a designated period of time, chart the spreads, possibly see pics of the results, etc.I'm spending a lot of time scrolling through sold listings in my target area/price range to try and develop a gut feel for what homes are selling for and in what condition.

This doesn't mean you skimp on well-thought-out design.

There are several carriers which have designed their products and programs to alleviate this difficulty.

You find that out when you go to show the unit when they never asked permission to paint even if it's in the lease.We used a set color, Antique White, Contractors grade Conco brand from Menards. so we can touch up after move outs and never have to think about "what color was on that wall" I use a eggshell finish on everything except kitchen and bath. there I use semigloss.So pick your color and 5 gallon buckets are best cost savings. 

As an architectural designer and having done my own renovations in the past, I truly feel I can get above those comp prices, even if under a few thousand, the profit margin is huge.Even if I cannot get the price I want, the rentals in the proximity run 1300-1600+ per month, making it a potential hold as well.What are your first impressions?

Industrial to Commercial,,,, and that commercial zoning designation covers a plethora of developmental possibilities....

The front of the house is also very awkward and could use some architectural design elements added. 

For over 25 years, I have been developing, designing, building and selling real estate.
