I also did wholesaling and sandwich lease options.  

Oven was used to heat a sandwich - oven caught fire.

Again the good men and women get a nice mud sandwich.

I am not sure exactly where this is at but if you are in Marietta and sandwiched near homes that are worth 350K+, I think you found a good little first base hit that will teach you a lot and help propel you forward to future deals. 

If you do a lease sandwich and you do not file it of record then medicaid or even a medical debtor can file a lien on the property and strip out the equity you hope to gain buy buying the property. 

You could do a lease option or lease option sandwich.

What you would be doing here is turning this into a Sandwich Lease Option.  

(seller denied) Sandwich lease Option (denied) and lease option which the seller has interest thus my question. checking the local laws and regulations for lease options is something I missed, and would like to thank Kris and you for your Insight. 

I told him I want to buy a duplex but I'm trying to figure out the best way and he just casually responded "I'll go in with you, I have 100K just sitting around" as if we were just discussing ordering sandwiches or something.

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.
