When your end-buyer is ready to exercise his/her option, then you can also exercise yours, and handle both closings.

I also have a few mentors who did some research on this over a period of 1-2 years (a while back), and they found that the only times the DOS was exercised was when the mortgage stopped being paid, the taxes stopped being paid, or the insurance got canceled.

If he's released, he will almost certainly be stalking me again tomorrow and I will need to exercise extra caution while working.

We are using lease/options.I'm asking for a large security deposit (2-5% of value) that can be used toward purchase if they exercise the purchase option.

You would need to do a double close where you exercised your option and they bought the house from you.

Land contracts qualify because they are a sale.Lease options will qualify if the option is exercised this year.

Though, it can be an exercise in futility, I called and finally got through to an actual FHA underwriter at HUD in Atlanta.

Short of that, this became an exercise of one person's opinion of how these parameters act over time vs. anothers and the actual math was getting lost in that discussion.

Az, TX and GA are states that you see people exercising their rights right out in the open.I find it amusing that we are all shell shocked at the image of armed citizens at a Presidential town hall meeting.

What do you love to do, what do you do well, what do you suck at, and what do you hate to do... do not short yourself on this exercise take some real time and search yourself.
