MJ Smook 3 Report post Posted March 5, 2015 When I do a SLO, my understanding is that the TB should make out his option consideration check to a Title company so that it will count towards his down-payment for future purchase financing.Is this correct, and if so, how do I get the money out of the title company and back into my hands? Thanks for your support Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelC 160 Report post Posted March 6, 2015 Hello, MJ, and welcome aboard.No, your understanding is incorrect. When doing a sandwich lease, that option consideration from the t/b goes directly to you. It's nonrefundable and it's your first income stream in a sandwich, the others being cash flow and then back end profit.Option consideration may or may not be accepted as part of a tenant/buyer's down payment. It is wholly dependent upon what the t/b's chosen lender decides. In the real world, however, that is almost never the case any longer. Instead, it is treated as a credit towards the purchase price.
