My favorite, "The lease option sandwich"!

I understand the prime location however you have to realize you are sandwiched between the DC and Baltimore markets.  

@Rose Ruiz Sounds like a standard sandwich lease option.

Sounds like a sandwich lease option, and you lose all control as a seller, if I were a home seller I wouldn't do a sandwich

I've been navigating the wholesale side of things instead, and meanwhile hoping to find something I can get into "creatively," with a sandwich lease / L/O, etc.

Sandwich lease options.

To control a house and sandwich? 

@Marterio JonesWelcome to bigger pocketsIn Florida it's helpful to be a real estate agentThere are two strategies to look atOne is a lease option assignment where you enter into a lease and option with the seller, and then assign the deal for 3% of value or soTwo is a lease option sandwich where you lease-option from the seller and then sub lease and sub optionUnless you have three months expenses  of what you pay the seller, I wouldn't do the sandwich I would do the assignmentBe very careful what you call "paying Equity" you are leasing from the seller in a landlord-tenant relationship, paying market rent or more no lessThe option is a separate contract that gives you the right to buy from the seller,   then assigning that right to buy from you to the tenantIf you want some more detail into lease options, go to the search box and enter lease option Brian GibbonsBest of luck to you

@Steve Vaughan I am the buyer of record, but the way that I put the deal together, is closest to a sandwich lease option, where I am using a lease with a purchase option to buy, and a similar contract to sell, but with some added contingencies.  

Also, I know that in sandwich lease you would be on the hook for rent payments, if the T/B stop paying or damaged the property, but what about if the owner stop making mortgage payments or refused to sell or had some judgements or liens occur on the property, wouldn't this cause a big problem since you are in the middle on a sandwich lease?
