So I'll give you both.A1:  It's a combination of SF flips, wholesaling, lease options and buy & holds...all strategically executed, with the decision of which strategy to use, based on the needs as to how they fit in the specific point/timeline in the overall investment plan that was reverse engineered from where you need to end up financially, to where you are right now financially.  

What are your thoughts on having my RE attorney execute this on my behalf.

The going rent for the home is $800 for the 3BR unit and $400 for the 1BR unit.The owner now notes she will sell the home but with the current lease in place (lease has yet to be executed).

Borrower shall occupy, establish, and use the Property as Borrower's principal residence within 60 days after the execution of this Security Instrument and shall continue to occupy the Property as Borrower's principal residence for at least one year after the date of occupancy, unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, or unless extenuating circumstances exist which are beyond Borrower's control.If you breach your Mortgage, the lender can call the Note due.Hope that helps!

With the seller, I would just talk to him and let him know that you totally understand where he's coming from, you don't like paperwork either, but the contracts are there for his protection as well, and he may have future liability if the contract isn't executed correctly.

Once you pay the earnest money and the contract is signed by both buyer and seller it is considered executed and you now have x amount of days for you todo all of your due diligence. 

I'm looking for an agent to help me out in my search for deals and execution.

It's really pretty simple......there is nothing a mortgagor can do, without the agreement of the mortgagee, that would transfer/eliminate their liability....regardless of what agreements, documents, transfers, divorce decrees, QCD's, etc. the mortgagor executes, period.

I'm well aware that double closings are hard to execute but I'm more than ready to take on this challenge.  

It's one thing to understand the economics and the tax aspects, but it's the execution that makes all the difference, I think.
