It depends on whether or not you are doing a simultaneous close (aka...double escrow) or an assignment of contract. 

Can I hold both simultaneously?

My understanding on wholesaling was that I put a contract on it for say $1.2 and sell it to my investor for $1.3 and either roll my assignment fee into that price and do a simultaneous closing.

Agree on a contract, purchase out right, pay off the balance....or make a sub2 deal with some/all cash today.....either way, get deed transfer simultaneous to paying arrears.  

My suggestion is if your fees is over 10k, you should do a double closing or simultaneous closing.  

I feel like I should get some basic items in order first or would it be better to do it all simultaneously?? 

Listening to podcasts and reading articles, etc. it's clear that investing in real estate while simultaneously holding a full-time job is possible and common.

The most important part of the puzzle is a title company that has experience w/ simultaneous closings.Sure, see if they're open to owner financing.Hope that helps!

Dell's other problem is that their customer service and quality deteriorated simultaneously.

He made $7k on a $77k wholesale flip to me, and I made $21k selling it simultaneously to a songwriter friend of mine who in turn listed it with me for $135k.
