I suggest you approach other professionals with conventional type transactions to test their knowledge of the options available and not start by talking about no money down deals in a sandwich lease option.

Bryce Y. the length of the lease has very little effect on the time a tenant stays.

I've saved enough $ such that living off the rental income would be easy (once invested), and in the meantime, I don't spend much $ so this wouldn't effect my finances much.Essentially I was wondering how this might affect my ability to get a loan?

If building new, I would consider using 4" plumbing which would allow for effective use of the real low-flow toilets with 4" traps.

The only public document which accompanies that transaction is the Assignment of Mortgage/Lien however it does not contain any price information.

I believe most MLS sites have a field that specifies what type of financing was used for a settled transaction.

However, all of the Attorney Generals from across the nation get together once a year and, what starts in one state, soon spreads to all.....North Carolina has created a law that takes jurisdiction away from magistrates when dealing with lease with option to buy transactions.

Unless you give someone else Power of Attorney to sign for you on that transaction, you really need to plan to be there.

I have a small bid, hopefully the first that will lead to other transactions, some government and some not.

If they don't pay you for a few months how will that effect your finances and what are the laws of getting that person out of your home and the time frame it takes.
