Double close won't work because the lender will figure out the seller (you, from their point of view) doesn't actually own the property, and will nix the loan.2) Down payment required.3) Property must meet lenders requirements.

European investors have been buying American real estate because, with low prices plus the exchange rate, it has been double cheap for them..Probably the change in exchange rates isn't a big enough change to make them stop buying.I know that some of you are following both the stock market and foreign currency.

(sustainable resource)- Use energy efficient light bulbs or dimmer switches (I heard E/S bulbs have mercury in them so I stay away from that)- Install a day/night programmable thermostat- Replace windows with double-pane LOW-E.- Install added insulation (attic, basement ceilings, ect)- Install Energy Star appliances- Convert oil furnaces to gas if possible.- Upgrade furnace to high-efficiency unit (90+ rating)- Convert oil water heater to gas if possible.- Recycle: demo, paper towels, drink bottles, ect.- Replace the toilet (old toilets use a lot more water!)

I'm going on tuesday to check out a 5 bedroom rental property that is a short sale and listed at 85k.

In more detail.If you contract an option on a property you have contracted the right to buy it.You contract the lease with right to sublet.Now you have all of the rights to the property with the exception of the right to the tax benifits.When your tenant excercises their option you exercise your option and do so thru a double close.Real Estate has bundles of rights that can be bought and sold. you can seperate the rights and sell them individually.

:lol: The big thing about Lease Options is the financial cash flow of the TBer (I prefer dinks - "double income no kids").

I also liked the fact that they double checked the addresses against a USPS database.

I know double wholesale is usually not advised, but seems like the numbers work.

For example Rehabbing, trailor parks, mini storage, creative finance using notes, asset protection etc etc.

Double closings?
