Good, I thought.  6 or 7 years later I need to sell one, so I go there to fix it up and ready it for sale and lo and behold, just for me, right outside my livingroom window stands a giant haphazard storage shed, two stories tall, stacked to the top with trash, surrounded by a garbage dump.  

Hello Lo Woods!

I've read a couple places that when I get control of a property, weather it's sub2, L/O or any other means, then L/O to a tenant buyer I should have the TB pay for repairs and maintenance after 30 days.My 1st question is, what if a tenant buyer gets in and then on the 35th day the furnace goes or a major leak happens.  

Let me see if I can clear the waters for you....First off...I assume..maybe I'm wrong...that you have not done a lease option before..There are 3 types..Straight LO  where you own the propertyAssignment (aka..wholesaling  CA Cooperative assignment)SLO (Sandwich LO)If this is the case, I do not recommend starting off on a SLO. 

I am new to LO and haven't started yet, I have read Azam Meo's  and also Joe Crump's book.

In your collective experiences, is it more advantageous to go the route of LO or seller finance?

All an LO is, is a lease and a separate option to purchase.

Might offer one price with a LO, one with seller-financing, a third with getting a mortgage yourself.  

@Brian Gibboms is an aewsome LO, sub2, creative strategies  coach.

I have a few FSBO's in my sights, including one that rejected my initial cash offer a few weeks ago that I'm going to re-approach with an LO offer this weekend.
