Sign Lease first?

[Alex Locklear]

I was trying to market a lease option property (sandwich lease option) before even signing the original lease with the seller. I thought there would be some potential problems doing this though; for instance, if someone was to google the property, they would find different contact information as well as better terms/price.

Should I sign a lease first and then market the property as if it were my own? (telling the seller to take down all his signs, advertisements, etc.)

What should I say to the Tenant buyer about interests with the property? Should I tell them that I am sub leasing to them or just not mention it at all?

Thanks
