Hello All!I am in the midst of working through my first deal. I have identified a seller who is willing to lease option their house to me. can I go to the sellers home and get the lease and option agreements signed? D...

This is a bit of extra paperwork and cost, but creates firewalls between properties so in the case of a lawsuit, the plaintiff can only go after what is in one LLC bucket. 

What kind of disclosures do i need to put in the paperwork letting the end buyer know in writing (i've already verbally told him) that I am not the titled owner and that I just have an option on the property?

And compared to Texas a 200k home can have higher tax's than a 400k in CA. so that does impact buying ability.CA home buyers by and large spend much more of their income on their house and less on cars and other non essential items than folks in any other part of the country.When you run DTI and people have 100k worth of cars a jet ski motor home etc. and living in a 150k home in Texas.

Sure there was a lot of paperwork and learning, but it's not impossible.

You are essentially asking them to absorb most of your risk as an investor.

I have learned that the easiest what to gets deals accepted and sold is to present the paper work and tell the buyer or seller, "here is my offer/assignment read over it carefully and then sign".

I have the judgement paperwork.

What paper work needs to be signed to make it non-refundable deposit, since it will go to his attorney or title company.Any input will help.?

Essentially he is holding it off the market for a few weeks if I want it - if I don't he will list with a realtor.
