Welcome to BP @Amber Castro . I have been wholesaling & rehabbing in Fresno for close to 4 years. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!

Lol, I know George, I was just making that clear.

And I don't surprise the buyer and seller about the double close, I have everything disclosed in my contracts.

No transactional lender needed. There is a double escrow disclosure that Fidelity attaches to the closing docs. They read as follows:

1. DISCLOSURE-CONCURRENT RESALE: Please be informed that _______________ , Buyer, has opened an escrow with for the concurrent resale of all or a portion of the property that is the subject of this escrow. This is to advise that the proceeds of the sale will be used towards the purchase of the property in this escrow. Therefore, Fidelity National Title Company is authorized and instructed to record documents required in this transaction even though all of Buyer's funds will not have been deposited into this escrow. Fidelity National Title Company is instructed to transfer the remainder of Buyer's funds upon the concurrent recordation of the resale transaction.

2. DISCLOSURE - DOUBLE ESCROW (INITIAL ACQUISITION): The closing of this escrow is subject to and contingent upon the concurrent closing of Escrow No. ("Resale Escrow"), wherein Buyer herein is selling the subject property at an increased purchase price.

Seller acknowledges that proceeds from the Resale Escrow transactions are the source of all or part of the purchase price herein. Escrow Holder is authorized and instructed to record all appropriate documents regarding this escrow, even though funds necessary to consummate this transaction will not be transferred to this escrow until after such documents are recorded.

With full knowledge of the foregoing, the parties hereto authorize and instruct Escrow Holder to proceed with the closing of this escrow pursuant to instructions relative thereto. The Parties further agree that Escrow Holder shall have no liability for and shall be held harmless from any matter resulting from Escrow Holder's compliance with these instructions.

3. DISCLOSURE - DOUBLE ESCROW (RESALE OF ACQUISITION): The closing of this escrow is subject to and contingent upon the concurrent closing of Escrow No. ("Acquisition Escrow"), wherein Seller herein is acquiring the subject property at a lesser purchase price.

Buyer is aware that all or a portion of the proceeds from this transaction are the source of all or a portion of the purchase price in the Acquisition Escrow. Escrow Holder is authorized and instructed to transfer funds from Seller's proceeds in this escrow to the Acquisition Escrow sufficient for purchase of the subject property and closing of the Acquisition Escrow.

With full knowledge of the foregoing, the parties hereto, including any Lender providing new financing for the acquisition of the subject property, authorize and instruct Escrow Holder to proceed with the closing of this escrow pursuant to instructions relative thereto. The Parties further agree that Escrow Holder shall have no liability for and shall be held harmless from any matter resulting from Escrow Holder's compliance with these instructions.

@Silvio L. I am not at my computer at home, but when I get there tonight I will look up which font I use and let you know.

@Account Closed Maybe not in Dallas, but here in Fresno, CA I do them regularly and have never had a problem with Fidelity. Title companies operate different from state to state.

@Silvio L. I downloaded a handwritten font and I use red ink, so it looks as real as it gets!

North American Title does assignments and Fidelity National Title does double closings.

There used to be a REIA here, but they stopped meeting. I get emails from a group who meets weekly from Meetup.com. I have never attended but it may be worth it for you to check it out.

@Amanda Esquivel

I have been wholesaling and rehabbing in Fresno for close to 4 years. I am also an agent. Let me know if you need anything! I work with quite a few newbies around here.
