    I haven't done a sandwich Lease Option, but will share my 2 cents. If you can get a $5,000 option payment from a tenant buyer, you would be all set with no money down. Do you have buyers lined up? Another thought is that as I understand the sandwich lease option, you really only want to do this when you can get the property at a large discount, from a motivated seller. If he is already giving you an appreciated purchase price, and inflated rent, you will have a hard time getting cash flow and appreciation out of the property. Your option price should be at today's prices and your rent should be market rent. This allows you to option it to a tenant buyer with 24 months appreciation and charge 110% of market rent.

    Hope that helps - Good luck!

    Hi Lansinginvester,
    Thanks for the www.reply.The
    jest of this thread is he wants me to have a risk 5,000 dollars worth till iI find a tenant www.buyer.That is a risk I don't take.He
    won't take the 5,000 increase in price he wants it www.upfront.I could recoup the money and
    still make a profit,and still get fmr or better.But I want to go NO MONEY from me.
    Thanks and have a good day.

    You could ask him to carry paper for the 5k. If it's a risk he is looking for, do a note for 5k, either interest only payments, or set-up a balloon payment at 24 months for the 5k, you would pay this when your tenant buyer purchases the property, if not, you refinance and cash him out. If he balks at this, he may really need the cash, but is trying to make it look like he just wants you to have some cash at risk.
