I am just concerned that if something does happen, I don't have a deed recorded with the county thus other than my money trail and paperwork that is just a copy, I am left with no proof that I am the note holder not to mention that if the borrower created another note my lien position can essentially get changed if that note gets recorded before mine.  

Definitely you will need 40%LTV at a minimum and a strong cash position to make sure your assumption is correct.This kind of project usually bankrupts people and note holders.

Hi.When I do a double Lease option:In option #1, i lease and option from seller (which are three documents including lease, option, and purchase and sale agreement);What language in do I put in Option #2 where I offer my subtenant/prospective buyer/option buyer regarding my being only an option holder with the seller?

Foreclosure attorneys may sometimes miss liens or other interest holders that they need to otherwise divest.

I’ve learned so much from BP already it’d be great to give back and network with like-minded investors - if I can ever be helpful, the areas I’m good at are: (1) rigorous financial analysis (CFA charter holder), (2) technology / software (I have my own blog on building wealth), and (3) tax strategy (will not give official advice since I’m not a licensed tax professional, but I think about a lot of tax strategies).

If one party refuses to sign, other party may deliver a Demand for Escrow holder to release deposit, which then escrow submits to the other party for a mutual signature.
