Contracts and Offers

Is DOUBLE CLOSING the same thing as ASSIGNMENT??

from what i read it seems these are different transactions, yet they seem extremely similiar?

i still need more help on how it works need an(example). and if i should use a real estate attorney

I have 1 property under contract and was looking for a referral to a good real estate attorney that will close this deal for me...I have a buyer (actually a few buyers waiting to buy this property)..just need to find an "investor friendly" attorney...
If you're in the San Antonio area, please advise of any attorneys

For those getting started, like myself; can someone offer an example of what was done to create a transaction which put money in your pocket at close.

Thanks

I have talked to 5 real estate agents and every 1 of them didn't even understand what I was tryin to do and my intentions... they all had no idea about the contracts and each one of them always talked about needing a license to buy and sell homes and only real estate agents and attourneys were the only ones that had the right to do so... so really my question to anybody would be... Why are all of them saying this? Are they scared to admit that investors are gonna start takin over this country soon? Or, is there an actual reasoning behind this?

hi every one, i know that these questions may have been answered before hand, but i am a person who needs it to be answered directly. now i have basically no money. i read the book, but i got a bit confused with the section about contracts. do i need a real estate agent or can i find sellers my self? and how exactly does the lease option work? that confused me a bit as well. and if i am unable to sell the contract within 30 days am i liable for anything? thanks bunches!!! answers by people in the New Jersey area are much needed.

I found this to be a really good site for instant leagal documents of all kinds including real estate

Hi everyone, my name is Charlie. My birthday is coming up on Saturday woo hoo, however I am flat broke. I am getting myself motivated to sell some homes but I keep intimidating myself. There's a house that I found "for sale by owner". I called up the person and he said he wanted 75,000 or best offer, now I have seen this house from the outside and it does not look like it is worth 75,000, more like 45,000 or so. I am so scared of messing up the deal that I haven't called him back..

Answers to All Those Questions You Forgot to Ask About Land Trusts
by Mike Butler

It’s amazing to still see many investors who aren’t using land trusts at all, along with investors using them improperly. On top of this, there’s a boatload of investors who are victims getting abused with every property purchased. Somewhere out there, somebody knew somebody who had a friend who did this or that and the investor becomes a victim. Although hard to believe, some investors go to their local veteran attorney and amazingly have been told they’ve never heard of a land trust.
