If we do further screening, then we mail them a key AFTER we get the full $$ squared away (never give possession until the money is completed for any reason).

both are middle men, the real estate agent and the wholesaler - the difference isthe real estate broker doesn't contract to buy the property - they contract to negotiate the sale of the property.the wholesaler actually puts the property under contract, usually with no intention of actually buying it, but rather looking to flip the contract and make money - fast money.the key here is to recognize how BOTH do this without having to put money into the deal itself.

Theorectically any time you buy or sell a house you could be involved with a lawsuit, but to say oh don't buy houses because you could end up in court if so and so happens just is not practical advice.I have never heard of someone refusing to sell when there is an option, and not that it isn't something to process, but to conclude that sandwich options are a VERY RISKY investment because of this possibility seems kind of unfounded.There are risks involved with all investments and adequately and accurately assessing those risks versus the rewards is key to success in any endeavor.
