I would have for you to get caught up in some type of crack that you didn't see. 

Good luck bro. Nice assistance by the way @Mary B. 

Thanks man. I tried looking for a decent one on FilePlace but hard to know what's a reliable one for CA.

Kudos,

 I was on http://www.legalcontracts.com/contracts/usa/ and there are 2 separate documents under the Real Estate section:

- Offer to Purchase Real Estate

- Real Estate Purchase Agreement 

Ok, when I visited the link you've enclosed and I sought out the two specified contracts mentioned above. I ran my cursor over them and learned per legalcontracts.com it gives the explanation in variance of what they are servicing when utilizing these contracts. The following is what's quoted for the two:

"the offer to Purchase real estate is set out to terms and conditions between a buyer and seller in a real estate transaction".  

"A real estate purchase agreement is a sales agreement for completed homes. legalcontracts' real estate sales agreement deals with new houses(construction completed). It contains additional disclosure forms if required."

From what I can tell one is used for completed fully rehabbed homes and another is for the opposite type of house, per the description. 

When you are using contracts from various websites you will often receive a variety of agreements stating a variety of things. I'm no attorney and this isn't legal advice. You can find a real estate attorney that's licensed in your state or the state that you choose to do REI business in to draw up contracts to your specification or you can find a general contract befitting the legalities of your state / the state that you choose to do REI business in and use that. legalcontracts.com offers templates and it may be ok to use but you need to know if its up to date on the current real estate laws in the state that you are doing REI business in.

Kudos,

Mary

 Thanks Mary! Appreciate your input here.

Hey guys,

Which one is better to use in wholesale contracts? I feel it's the offer to purchase but want to make sure I'm on the right track here.

Sebastia, I typically use the escrow company preferred by the seller, but American Trust Escrow seems to be popular. You will have to negotiate rates with them. 

As for Tuesday, I may be hard pressed to make it, but I will try - keep me in the loop on the location. 

sounds good. It appears Manolo D. is driving the meeting but I'll keep you posted

Hello!

My name is Francesca and I am totally new to the real estate field. I am an architectural designer that is interested in having additional sources of income through rental and fix-flip properties. 

The Southern California market seems hard to get into, so I am interested in getting into out of state and international markets (especially Asia) as well. 

I am pleasantly surprised by the very active and useful (and free!) community that exists here. I am eager to learn as much as I can from everyone else. 

 Hey Fran,

I'm new here too and also from SoCal :) We might be having a small meetup next week in Glendale you're interested
