After going back and forth with different people about what our best option was (submitting an invoice to be paid at closing, signing an option with seller and recording it, etc) we decided that the best and only sure way this deal could happen was if we recorded an "Affidavit and Notice of Interest in Real Property" (which states we have a contract on the property) and put the buyer and seller in contract directly.

If anyone can help or point me to the right direction of taking me under their wing or any networking events please let me know.
