just got my first contract signed!

[Lonell Slaughter]

Hello just got my first contract signed been learning about wholesaling for the past 5 or 6 months but i am lil confused & still in disbelief i got my first deal lol but the question is when should i pay the earnest money deposit i read somewhere that i should have the buyer pay it to show that they are serious but i don't have a buyer lined up well i got a couple but not sure with them so should i just go ahead & pay the earnest money deposit ?
