It's my very own first flip, but it sucks having all your cash tied up in a single property & eating cereal & sandwiches all the time haha.

Think of it like going to lunch: do you overthink about whether you're going to get Mexican, Thai, a sandwich, Italian?

I just want to get a sense of what BP has to say on the subject.Oh, and what is the difference between a Lease Option and a Sandwich Lease Option?

Recently while reading "The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No and Low Money Down" by Brandon Turner, I noticed he mentioned a "lease option sandwich" which effectively allows you to have a lease option with the seller.

Secondly, do you think sandwich lease options are a good "no money down" technique for a new investor?

Are sandwich lease options illegal in Texas?

I only kind of implied I was inquiring about the investor qualifying for a loan, as the end buyer, to ultimately keep the property, not for another sub-lessee in a sandwich situation. 

I suspect you are not simply doing an option but a sandwich lease option.

We own several rentals in an area of our town called Midtown Revitalization District. this district is sandwiched between 2 major hospitals and a junior college.

You should had just offered the original seller a lease option sandwich with your tile guy while you stayed in the middle
