I know this is discussed frequently, however, I have a great multi unit wholesale that the owner wants at least 1000 deposit down on.

If i can keep my exit claues, why not put a large deposit down, and exit if i need to?

If you have to, then do it. Specially for multi-units.

Make sure however that you are sending the check to the escrow company and not giving it to them directly. They should be ok with that.

If you have a buyer immediately, you can then have them send in the check if you play your cards right.

Never give any money at all to a seller, even if your contract says it's refundable. And, to take it one step further, work with a title company that won't actually require you to put down earnest money, eventhough your contract says it's been extended. All my contracts have either $500 or $1000 deposits. I have never put one down to this day...

What clause do you have and or have used to cancel?

I have "buyer has right to conduct all due dilligence necessary during contract period"

Your inspection period is your out-clause. Something like, "Sale and transfer of title is contingent on said property passing final inspection."

Andrew, thats what I use my due diligence clause as, although I've never had to use it.

Thanks
