The Most Basic Question.
This is going to be the most basic question on BP I'm asking it for my need of my own answers not reading though forums if tho that's what I should be doing but I can't find the right answer that help explain it to me.
Question: With the whole buying process what are the full steps from signing the contract to assisning the contract from a wholesalers prospective? I wanna know who holds the earnest money ? Who needs what and what needs to be done by what time and so in.

@Ray Agosto, I'm throwing another vote for what Jim said. It is supremely important that a disinterested third party holds the earnest money.
I would go so far as to say this should be a deal breaker if the seller refuses to budge. Something's wrong there.
