I confess that I know very little about real estate investing, but I have learned quite a bit about options in the stock market over the past 12 years or so.  What I find intriguing is that there is an enormous amount of information available on the web about wholesaling, but almost nothing available about options to purchase real estate (note: I'm not talking about lease options).  To me, it seems that real estate options offer much less risk and potentially more success compared to wholesaling purchase agreements.

So I hope to be able to share what I have learned about options in the equity markets as they may apply to real estate investing.  And in the process I hope also to learn what I don't know about wholesaling.

Perhaps with the collaboration of other BP members, we can make a significant contribution to the body of knowledge on both topics.

BTW: I plan to maintain a blog here on BP that can serve as a centralized location for the knowledge that we develop.
