I have seen requests daily to show multi-family properties, and had to require prospective buyers to show real intent before disturbing tenants with showings.I have fix & fliped rental properties in metro Charlotte.  

Once the option date expires it can be renewed (unusual, but it does happen) by he prospective buyer paying another option fee like the first one.Clear as mud, right?

Always do the analysis numbers and try to look at your prospect properties before you make an offer or at least have a clause in the sales contract (usually 15 days) to make an inspection and possibly back out of the deal without the penalty that exceeds your earnest money amount, if any.  

Hi Scott,Just a question with regards to note brokering.As a newbie is it always best to get prospective investors and brokers to sign a NDNC Agreement before sending the note information?

To deal with this in the future, I took a lot of before and after pictures so I can show any prospective tenants our quality of work and design.

But I feel like I have to assume the worst when analyzing as a prospective investment. 

Just got an outrageous quote from Prospect Mortgages.

Mention that you are looking to close your first deal and then ask lots of questions to learn what your prospective buyer looks for in his properties so you can provide quality leads to them. 

All the job opportunities have dried up, there aren't much in the way of prospects in the near future, and the school district stinks.  

I also understand it involves prospecting which, frankly, I'm not that great at.
