The title company gathers and verifies all the important papers from the lender and county, and mails a fat packet to me.

That and a fat dep. sweetens the offer. 

My point is sandwich l/o are fraught with risk, you need to have a bank roll fat enough to cover evictions, they are just tenants until they buy, and enough time with the seller to get a new buyer if the term ends and they dont close.

One of the carry-over tenants was not paying rent, so we learned real fats how to deal with eviction process, small claims, changing locks, etc.

My answer would be a big fat YES!

I've heard a saying in my real estate learning, "Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered".

Sure, they're cash flowing for a few years and feeling like geniuses (I did the same), but then those big expenses creep in and after 7-10 years, and the next thing they know they're staring a nice big fat rehab bill that eats up all that cash flow from the previous years. 

If it were my listing, I would be taking the advice from above and making other changes to the home and listing in addition to a fat price drop ($10k is not fat enough to get buyers excited again). 

Purchase price: $178,000 Cash invested: $170,000 Sale price: $322,500 Fix and flip, the investor got fat on this one because it was a year project and we paid him 10% APR.

The lender will want your statement history and if they see that you went from sub $7k for some time and then got one fat abnormal deposit, they will ask about it and where it came from and deny the loan.
