Getting a SFR under contract, non-MLS

[Miles Stanley]

I’m trying to bridge a gap here.

My plan is to market to non-MLS SFR's and make offers directly to the owners.I want to rent them out.

I'm a little mixed up on the role of a RE agent and/or a RE attorney here, specifically to Texas purchase deals.Can anyone please take some time to explain to me the actual process of obtaining the contract forms (from attorney I presume??) and getting the dead negotiated and the contract signed?I understand that your financing should be lined up before making the offer and the numbers should have been run (preliminarily), but I'm having a hard time with the deal-making concept at that point.Once the contract is signed, what next?Do I go to a title company to begin closing process?

Does the RE agent have a role here at all (aside from comps perhaps)??

Thank you very much!!I hate getting hung up on things like this…I'm probably overthinking it or something.I know I'm asking for a lot here…
