Double Closing Proof of Funds

Hello,

I have a question about the actual execution of a double closing. I understand that you will be on the chain of title for a few hours after buying the property before the selling happens later in the day, but do you actually need proof of funds and write out a check at the first closing, despite the end buyer coming in with the money for the second deal later in day? Basically, are you able to find the purchase in the first closing with the funds from your end buyer in the second closing?

People are slowly shifting to that mindset as well. Is your strong language on these blogs just a marketing scheme for your tutorials and podcasts? I think so

 Well for one a license is required to broker real estate in the USA. Connecting motivated sellers with buyers is brokering real estate. So there's that.....
