The value of an option can be determined and in residential transactions most don't go through the brain damage of properly valuing an option, generally it is no more than 10% of the strike price or sale price. 

I look forward to meeting and working with those who paths will cross with mine. 

I just had a transaction where I was the listing agent and the buyers agent came to me and said we have to push closing back two weeks because the lender is busy and they had a backup of files in underwriting.

Way to much paperwork if you ask me for most real estate transactions. 

The more sophisticated attorney's know how to do this, one of the advantages is that no funds are exchanged in advanced and the original seller does not have to be made aware of the subsequent transaction.

They also let you have two transactions a year that you don't pay a brokerage commission.  

Find and negotiate an equity pack property and the MONEY will come, or just flip and you don't need the money.Money is not the key to real estate success - the key that will unlock the doors to many transactions is the deal, the knowledge to negotiate, the ability to think of 10 ways to write an offer, finding great properties and the ability to negotiate an attractive transaction.Why buy property when you can CONTROL a property and flip it while you are in contract.Selling something you don't own is the highest leverage in the world ----I have been doing Control and Roll for years now and it is the fastest way to make short term cash profits - try it, it works!

In these plans, a legal entity is formed under the umbrella of the retirement plan that puts you in direct control of the funds and allows you to directly manage all aspects of plan transactions.  

You only pay them a fee when you close a transaction, which is very reasonable.

When we do this, basically I have to set it up so that both go to the same underwriter, same processor, same title company (in this case the title company of the purchase transaction would just be re-used for the cash out refinance), etc, but two different funders because they both have to push the "fund" button within a few moments of each other for it to work because each loan will have a condition that it can only fund if the other one funds.
