As a wise Arkansas oil man (who came into a large metropolitan city in TX and bought a professional football team simultaneously firing the long-time beloved head coach like a government takeover in a third world latin country) said, you need to "keep (some of) your powder dry" for the next opportunity that presents itself.

So after reading different forum articles, some say that simultaneous closings and double closings with reos are the exact same thing.

Both closings occurrred nearly simultaneously and the funds were BACK in lenders' account by 7PM this evening.

I can't tell you how many times my offer has been rejected and then the seller comes back in a month (usually after the "buyer" failed to assign the contract or flip to another buyer for a simultaneous closing) to ask me if my offer is still good.

I'm better than most, but far from great.Anyway, I was in Israel and as a team building exercise 5 teams of 5 played the national chess champion simultaneously.

Ask yourself this: how many successful business owners simultaneously run 8 large and successful businesses?

This allows us to pay for the appliance, out of cash-flow, over 2-years while simultaneously depreciating it over 5-years.  

I'm not in the note business, but it seems on certain properties, buying the note seems like the best way to get control of the property which otherwise is stuck in limbo while simultaneously losing value because of physical deterioration and getting more expensive because of accumulating debt and new liens.I don't think a single note purchase is biting off more than I can chew, but don't know where to bite.  

I am currently in the process of educating myself to avoid scams.I have been introduced to a group of investors and I've been told that if I can help to find investors interested in discounted properties and are open to a simultaneous close that I can get my foot into the real estate door. 

So, I'm currently browsing all the easy listing engines, zillow, realtor, the rest, trying to get a feel for what's available, what things are priced at etc... and simultaneously bouncing that off an interesting recent experience of my own.
