The harder part is getting and choosing comps.

In our area judges are overturning subject to deals when they are completely one sided and one party gets nothing and another party get something.

One party took extra long to see the place, so they overlapped with another appointment.

This deal almost died multipule times, with issues regarding third party approval of the short sale, and FHA required repairs in order to close, and each time I hit a road block, and my agent and myself were scratching our heads Upen was there to point us in the right direction. 

The  reality is you may REQUEST an extension, but it doesn't have to be honored, and of course both parties waste time and effort. 

These are documents the attorney has prepared which are defensible in court and which have only the parties, property addresses, etc. left blank.

I know there is a lot of buzz going on about using 3rd party crowdfunding sites for your deals.

Even though our political parties can do something about it now

And with any professional relationship, they are best to map out while both parties are still friends.

@Jay Hinrichs I hear you...the problem with the NAR suggestion that a seller simply find a RMLO to facilitate the transaction is that the licensing authorities could then move against the seller for brokering without a license, and also move against the RMLO and their company for accepting TPO (third party originations) from a non-licensed person.
