There are a lot of options (no pun intended...but I couldn't resist) when you have an option.You can sell it, execute it....I guess you can assign it...you can wholesale it.....when you have a legitimate (SEE, I CAN SPELL...I spelled it wrong earlier) you have options for making money on the option....again...no pun intended..but dang that's funny.

Silver A. First try at direct marketing - hand written or printed?
8 May 2011 | 7 replies
My take on this is: you are not a family member or a friend, therefore the homeowners know that you are an investor looking to purchase their home.It is more important that you come through as you know what you are talking about, offer something they cannot resist (moving expenses paid, for example), and some great headline.

I'm sure more details will surface over the next few days, but the actual mission debrief will probably remain highly classified for quite some time.Supposedly there was very little physical resistance.
Ben C Furnace filter

How important the A/C is will depend on where your rental property is located and how hot the temps get there and how many months the hot weather lasts.I would just include replacing the filters as a bonus to the tenant.Filters say they last 3 months but really it is not true.This is especially if you have a smoker or a tenant with pets.What happens is air filters should be replaced if the cheap ones about every month to 2 months max.Expensive ones you can go up to 2 months.If you wait 3 as more dirt is attached to the filter it restricts air flow and won't pull in as much dirt.When this happens less air will flow through the vents and the tenant will turn the unit down more and the resistance will make the motor work harder and wear out faster.I was having this happen in my house.A/C unit is 9 years old.When it gets in the high 90's here the A/C unit was getting in the 80's.Has an A/C guy come out.I had the old analog mercury switch A/C thermostat which is off by as much as 5 to 6 degrees sometimes the guy told me.I use the Filtrete Ultra Allergen because we have 5 cats and was replacing filter every 3 months (cost about 17 bucks a filter).The A/C guy explained about air flow and that I need to replace filter every month.The high end filter will catch more particles he said and when you keep them replaced they are fine every month.If you wait the 3 months it will reduce the air flow to much with the dirt it catches.So I replaced the filter and he also checked my free on level which was fine but my coils needed cleaning.He just basically took a hose and cleaned it out after turning power off and before the 100 dollar bill was not sticking to the coil halfway to the bottom.After cleaning the bill was sticking to the coil everywhere.He said it's important that when the heat comes out the coil can cool it properly before it goes back in the house.I bought the electronic thermostat myself for 25 bucks and took out the mercury one.Now with it being 95 outside it is holding at 73 degrees just fine.So I would replace filter every 2 months at the most to preserve the motor and help air flow.On some properties the builder installed too small of duct lines for the air flow and run to the vents anyways so any little air flow restriction will make the unit hard to keep cool in the hot weather.Probably too much info but thought I would share.Hope it helps.
Tyler S. info for seller and buyer in wholesaling
29 May 2011 | 3 replies
Obviously the path of least resistance is to not tell them anything other than when to be at closing.The end buyer will have to know, in order to get their signature on the assignment addendum, and their escrow money.
