A little help with options

[Michael Juve]

I am coming to you guys on the eve of my 18th birthday looking for some advice. Now that I can almost really get the ball rolling with this I figured it was time to get serious instead of just poking around here and there getting some basic facts.

I have an idea about how options work but that would be about it. I'm not really sure how to write up the contract, and what kind of a pitch I should use. I'm sure this will all come in time but I figured with a great resource like this site it wouldn't hurt to ask. 8)

So any tips, and suggestions would be more then appreciated. :D

Also would an option work in a pre foreclosure type situation. I don't see why it wouldn't seeing as there isn't anything "official" yet. But I thought I would ask just to be sure.
