"Buying a residential rental property as an investment means that utilities will, for the most part, be paid by your tenant any way you slice it ....

Better to share a slice than ruin the cake.After that, consider investing in training.

But there are still merits to the sandwich deal (especially if you negotiate that you don't have to pay rent if the tenant buyer bails - holy cow, that's awesome, and a tough sell I imagine).This just goes to show that there are not only a million ways to slice the pie as a real estate investor, but even every subniche has a few ways to slice within itself.I personally am no longer as risk tolerant as I was when I started RE investing, which is why I'm personally terrified of doing a sandwich lease option deal. 

Just a different slice of the market that has its quirks to work through...Best of luck in your early investing! 

I hate dotloop and docusign is ok but this program beats all of them on price and my clients think its the coolest thing since sliced bread. 

However, a house thats purchased for $70k using private/hard money, fixed up for $30k out of pocket (or some other means) with an ARV of $150k, rents for $1400 and can be refinanced out of private/hard money with a loan between $70-$80k is a deal though (depending on your goals) if you have the right means to purchase.I'm not saying this is what I want to do, I'm a pretty conservative guy and I understand that no matter what way you slice it there is a lot of inherent risk.

Go Man Go!

They get more focused about the size of your piece of the pie rather than being happy with their own slice.  

I could see where it could get tricky where intent changes during the year and having to reallocate at the point of change, which sounds like a lot of slicing and dicing.

That said, it's not anything above 4.7% Cap no matter how you slice it and might be lower...It'll be 7.5% on my basis in 2 years...And then I'll sell it at 5% CapOr I'll keep it for the cash flowOr, I'll call @Brian Burke and be like - what the hell do I do with this thing?
