Yes, you may get a few points, you certainly don't buy public traded stocks at a 30% discount from the strike price.

You would then separately enter into an option agreement which, in exchange for a consideration (option fee) provides them with the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the property at a predetermined price (strike price) at a set time (option/exercise date) in the future.You should keep these two agreements separate with no performance ties between them.

R and R Homes strikes again!

Watch out for the SAFE Act as well as Options are mention as other financing arrangements.If you construct the agreement and strike out the financing contingency you may well be crossing a line of dealing fairly, I advise not to do that over a long term contract....besides, it doesn't really make that much difference if they can't get the loan.All of this has been mentioned on BP before, a little research and reading will go a long way for ya.....good luck,,,,,and it's my humor, sorry if it got the dander up.....have fun!

I can see things in my market not lasting long and stuff going quicker and quicker here and would like to strike while the iron is hot so to speak. 

Maybe you can strike a compromise OR just go right on to a new electrician to do the panel install.
