Did you tie up this property yet?

I'd get over to the owner ASAP and work up some sort of purchase and sales subject to all the documents being furnished to your satisfaction.

I don't know why you are waiting for more documents to make your offers. I wouldn't.

Yeah, I know, but something is making me hesitate. The deal seems a bit too good to be true which is why I want to see everything up front before making any kind of committment. The thing that I keep coming back to in my mind is that the property has been lease/optioned twice and neither person made it work. Somehow I just can't figure how that would be possible unless the payments on the least agreement were ridiculously high or something. I dunno, I just wanted something a bit more. I should probably just get it under contract. I know you're right.

spex,

get it under contract. you aren't tied to the deal unless everything checks out. include contingencies in the contract and tie it up.
