When we are getting the Lease Purchase Agreement for L/O deals signed, we should also get the Memorandum of Option notarized with the seller.
I know it would be hard to ask the seller to sign all the documents and also go to a notary to get it notarized, all in one day. But, if this takes several steps, wouldn’t it prolong the process of securing the deal and jeopardizing it? What are the best ways to handle this?

My contract states that a memorandum will be filed, so they know it is going to happen and for what purpose. So why would it be unethical to do so?
All the memorandum does is let the public know that there is SOME kind of transaction going on with the property, and how to contact me should they have any questions. It also raises enough of a question to where any lender in their right mind would not loan on the house until they contact me first. It keeps me “in the loop”.
It is possible that you have verbiage in your memorandum that would warrant having both parties sign it… but for me, mine is fine with one signature and anything but un-ethical. (Ask the old timers on the board that may remember me and my issues with being “unethical” - LOL)
So, please clarify… why you think it would be unethical to file this with only one signature, when the other party already knows the scoop.

Brandi,
It’s great to see you around. Please stick around but fasten your seatbelt because the stuff is wacko around here these days. Even more then some of the “old timer” chats we used to have.

I hope you don’t mean “wacko” as in negative - like all the negative stuff that encouraged me stop posting to begin with. It got kinda ugly around here.
I scanned the names on the board… looks like only the good ones are left… but where is Piper?
