The "real side" is the business decision to execute the option where the buyer benefits over other alternatives they have.

I can e-mail the caseworker or inspector with any questions or issues and get an almost immediate response during working hours.  

Hi I have seen Marco Rubel's Real Estate course floating around out there. was curious if people here were able to successfully execute lease option or get on the deed. with his strategies and contracts.Thanks Chuck

The capstone can be anything to do with real estate and I have chosen to "pitch a deal" where I find a deal and write and present on what it would take to execute.

People started calling me trying to day trade their mortgage, in two cases rates actually changed in the 5 minutes between when the borrower and I agreed to terms and when I went to push the "lock this rate" button.

@Stacy E., I totally agree with the exhortation given by @Cal C..I would certainly recommend cashing out the FULL approved amount - but, because unexpected windfalls have a tendency not to be treated with the same care as hard earned savings, it will pay you to be MINDFUL of that fact. 

In this case it was actually a court order, from probate court, with no "deed" executed. 

But, in most states, if you're not the owner then you can't manage it without a license.Trust Account: If your rent collection is not an online ACH/e-check transfer (which I highly recommend setting up for all properties -- from the tenant straight to the owner), then you cannot collect the rent without setting up your own trust account.

I'm a electrician who works for a real estate investor who is teaching me the ropes of the trade.

 :) Great idea, but difficult to execute.
