Keep up the great work and let us know about your syndicated deals when you get the chance.

find an experienced investor to invest side by side with or make friends with a contractor who is willing to come out and give you quotes on properties you're really interested in, for a first chance at bidding the job.or find a longtime investor/broker who is honest and can help you estimate.

Lots of sociopathic personalities out there,, however at the end of the day buying rehabbers is not a highly complicated business as you state LOL, I must have the same algorithm hard wired in my brain along with my lie detector eye balls, I certainly got my share of liars and embellishments, but none were funded, maybe it's my cynical nature, maybe a bit of human intelligence gathering from my Army intelligence days, could be the old examiner days that sound off alarms, might be prudent lending practices that made me so lucky, maybe all of it together just didn't give those types a snowball's chance on a hot stove of getting past me, since it never happened with my money or my client's money.

I totally agree that a good option agreement would contain all of the terms of the purchase agreement.In California, as you likely know, that would be a formidable task given that the standard lease option agreement is 2 pages long and the standard purchase agreement is 8 pages long.I think we are the same page inasmuch as all the terms of the purchase must be set forth at the outset of the agreements as opposed to leaving it to chance that buyer and seller will agree to all terms at the time of purchase.My concern is why that topic is never broached where lease options are discussed.Again, Bill, thanks for your input, I appreciate it.Steve
