We're creating an artist / creative community and people love it.

While that's a chency cheap azz way to try and deal, it is done and you can become just another con artist if you don't pay the note as agreed.But, again, wholesalers don't know what they are doing assigning contracts and if they do, then they are already in the scam business, so why would not paying a note matter to them?

Can help you in long  run re resale and any possible liability issues that might could pop up! 

I found the same house advertised on CL from two different scam artists and both of them DO NOT have a contract on the house.

I like the whole mom and pop trying to make a living vibe we bring.  

Most of the mom and pop owners are terrible business people and terrible record keepers.  

Regardless if this deal goes through or not, it is important to have a contract ready for the many more deals that might pop up in the future. 2) I would send a letter of intent, out of courtesy, expressing my interests in a professional manner.

Not sure if anyone else is familiar with a few FinTech companies popping up where they give homeowners cash for a % of ownership and a stake in the future appreciation of the home under an option contract.Few articles: http://therealdeal.com/2016/09/23/tech-investors-o... https://www.washingtonpost.com/realestate/financia...Curious what you guys think about it.

Where I am, there are also lots of 'trailer BBQ' pop-ups that rent that type of gas-station or hotel corner lots (http://www.drivethrucoffeekiosk.com/).
