I believe that while an option is in effect, the option holder has the First Right of Refusal; can step into the position of anyone making an offer. Effectively you ARE restricting the seller.

For that matter can't you write into the contract or exclude whatever you want?

To my understanding that is the purpose of the NON-exclusive option. I've only read about in a couple places.

I believe that would be a letter of intent, not an option.

Does an LOI give you equitable interest?

Would it be a good strategy to propose a non-exclusive option contract just to get equitable interest in order to legally attempt to sell a property while not tying up the seller? Its seems like a no-brainer to me but I haven't read about anyone doing it. I am thinking this could put most of the dead leads you get to use and sounds less complicated than lease options.

There's plenty of post office regulations to google but what works for me is:

Line 1 - This can be anything, person or corporate entity, or even blank
Line 2 - Must be just above the city and either PO Box or physical street address
Line 3 - City, State, Zip Code

There are also websites that scrub and correct mailing addresses. Hope this helps. Best of luck with your investments.

Thanks. "all the mail", meaning all THEIR mail or all their mail sent from me? I'm confused cause I remember trying to "return to sender" mail addressed "to home owner/current resident" and the mail man/woman telling me 'sorry, it's valid' so I'd take that as addressing it to the correct owner as even more valid thus also unable to "return to sender".

i get a lot of nixies and I thought I'd read somewhere there was a way(website?) to verify they're valid.

Also while I'm on the subject, a lot of my nixies read "not deliverable as addressed" and I'm taking them verbatim off the local tax assessor website, so does that most likely mean there isn't a person by or close to the name registered with the post office matching who you've addressed your mail to?

And do any of you know any tricks to determine the error behind this and other clueless "return to sender" messages (i.e. "insufficient address" although g maps and county tax assessor site says otherwise, "attempted, not known" ??)?

ok so... super simple solution. Google cash buyers in (your area) and start calling the people who post the "We buy houses fast" or ugly or whatever. Going through the public records seems to be more work than worth.

But if you go to meetings you will talk to people and just ask the cash buyers there. What specifically they are looking for. Build a database.

Then you can either target the houses or areas that your cash buyers are interested in.. Or when you find a deal in one of those areas, you know which buyers are more interested. @Benjamin Cowles @Brandon Mitchell

Thanks for your efforts
