The way I presented it to one buyer is that the numbers look good but we need to do some more research and that we will sign and ratify the contract upon verification of everything, and that we may not actually buy the property but investors we work with may.I'm being straight forward about not signing it right there, im just trying to come up with an alternative to using an option, and tying up my money on a psa if there are questions I need answered first.I'm just trying to be "creative"I do appreciate everyone's input. this has got much more response than i anticipated.

If they are tiptoeing around giving you a straight answer about their own products/services, it is time to keep looking for another host.See you tomorrow . . . bring friends!

In the past, I calculated appreciation into the equation because that what I was taught in class and by other agents, thanks to the people on BiggerPockets, they set me straight.

Again, I'm not an expert on this and it is very important you talk with a tax attorney; they should be able to set you straight.

You mean that money goes straight to my bank account?

I will start geocoding rents and sales prices of homes where I can find the data, and build a "heat map" of the local market while saving some money to invest.My target purchase there will be under $70k, and looking for $100 cash flow per door.Thanks again to those who gave me the straight talk earlier this year.

Banks have straight-jacketed real estate for way too long.

If you are talking to individual homeowners this is pretty straight forward.

I have recently found the contracts I needed then edited to ensure my protection just need to run them by a lawyer or title company to make sure they are straight.
