Buyer's Earnest Money Deposit

[Kim Oceguera]

Hi all, In what form do you accept a buyer's earnest money deposit? I've heard of some investors who only accept a cashier's check and others who will take a money order for EM. If you are in the cashier's-check-only camp, do you find it a nuisance trying to lock up a deal on the weekend when it is extremely difficult for a buyer to get a cashier's check since banks are closed? Thanks for your input! Looking forward to the replies. I'm in TX if that makes a difference in the process.
