To have a valid contract you need to know the requirements.If you are buying an option you must pay consideration for the option to be valid.For a purchase and sale contract that shows there is earnest money as part of the contract not paying will break the contract.Not every deal will require cash but you do need to know what you are doing when using standard forms or custom contracts.You do not want the end buyer being able to go around you because you do not have an enforceable contract.John Corey
