Long distance - Contract Logistics

[Jeff Fairchild]

Ok, so I found this deal that is sort of out in the middle of nowhere. It is in St. Helens WA, if anyone knows the area. Well anyway, because of this I'm thinking of offering the seller a non-exclusive option contract on the property, as I have no idea whether I'll be able to find an investor buyer to wholesale it to.

1. Do you think that is a good way to go on a deal like this?

2. Do I just email him the option contract and have him sign it and mail it back to me? Can it be faxed? What do I need to know about buying houses long distance to wholesale them?
