The property is currently leased to an old landmark type of tavern, and to a small take out place that sells hot pocket sandwiches (pasties).

Thanks @Justin HoweScott If you are in MN, I would first:1. get a lawyer for terms deals which includes contract for deed, lease with option, lease purchase, sandwich lease options, sub2 (subject to existing financing), etc.2.

I assure you, the "Sandwich" is very tasty :)

On Quora, you check off a bunch of topics you're interested in and get presented with a list of questions, then can pick and choose which to answer.Do you want answers from someone on a real estate forum, or someone picking your question out of a list about sandwiches, real estate, breeding toy poodles, gender politics, and Canadian tourism?

In my best case, I get a renter for a year or two, then I get to sandwich myself into the house sale with a big spread because I am not selling my house at market price to someone who needs credit repair.

His parcel is 30 ft long by 20 ft wide,Were both sandwiched in between the road and the lake. but his has no retaining wall. 

However, both my attorney and lender said the problem with that approach is that the HUD-1 MUST show the down payment released to the seller (instead of me) in order for it to count as a down payment.So, to avoid that problem, I'm now leaning toward entering into a sandwich lease option and then simply assigning back to the seller for a release fee (and having seller release me from our original contract).  

I worked as a firefighter in this city for a little while so I'm fairly familiar with the layout, demographics, etc.CompetitionAll of the self storage currently built in this town is on the far east side, sandwiched between the only major highway and all of the population.

Brian P, I really appreciate your recommendation - to learn more about purchase agreements/options - I guess with my current financial situation I'm really focused on trying to get the ball rolling without conventional financing and I lose sight of other possibilities.At this point, I plan to learn more about purchase options, specifically, sandwich leases, wholesaling and gaining control of property subject to.

You could do a lease option or lease option sandwich.
