Deposited money in the bank, started visiting with them, sending the see's candy and created financials of my existing properties and what my goals were. 

I have read all the different ways you can increase your response rate, with things like adding a piece of candy to your letters, or using more than one stamp, or using blue envelopes, etc...What is the craziest combination of marketing you have done and how did that impact your response/deal rate?

I feel like a kid in candy jar.

You offer to guarantee a low NOI or net operating income amount for 2 to 5 years, and then have an option to buy based on the value of that low NOI value I don't think Masterleased options are good for new people unless they have very good experience with property management on commercial properties Taking a CCIM course I think is really helpful for apartment managementIf you want to look at Sammy's lease options for residential property, 1 to 4 units, you need to learn about Dodd Frank and the safe act and TILA and RESPA Some fallacies are you cannot legally go against landlord tenant law in your state, so you can't make the tenant pay for any repairs,  you've got to be very cautious about any kind a rent credit creating a financing agreement that envokes Dodd Frank and CFPB  Learn about using a RMLO and how that protects you in any kind of lease with option or lease purchase  Also be aware that the seller can have something happened to them, they can be sued, they can die, so I would highly recommend you have a sale and purchase agreement  And open an ongoing escrow accountTo make sandwich lease options work you must have some capital to put in reserves in case things go wrong, like evictions and damage.
