The schools, largely staffed by teachers with no-content bachelor's education degrees and Easy-A master's degrees in their fields from night school at state degree mills, have done a phenomenal job since WWII convincing young people that anyone who goes into the trades is stupid and anyone with any sort of ambition or promise whatsoever really needs a degree in "something they love" from a four-year school.The young people with that ambition and drive who get through trade schools and realize they were force-fed the proverbial shame sandwich with a side of s**t from supposed professionals who can't teach their way out of a wet paper bag and are unfit to lead a three-year-old to the crapper, let alone guide the nation's youth, also realize quite justifiably that their critical skills are in such short supply today they can charge what the market will bear.

Some avenues include credit unions, private money, seller financing, sandwich leasing, JV Partnerships.

You're kind of describing a sandwich lease option. 

@Michael Carbonare its a lease option/sandwich lease.

Another exit strategy would be for you to do a "sandwich lease option".

We dont know if a sandwich will cost 800 bucks tomorrow meanwhile jersey mikes has it for around 14 bucks today.Ultimately the advantage of getting more cashflow and cash today generally trumps getting it back tomorrow because we dont know what "goods and services," we can trade those dollars or currency units for at that time. 

I wouldn't want old , loose shingles sandwiched under a metal roof for 50+years.

I’d like to buy and hold, but if I can pull off a sub-to/sandwich lease, I would be open to it.

Like my business law professor always said: "You can sue a ham sandwich."

Preferably, someone who is experienced with owner financing, sandwich leases and other such terms transactions.
