Got a contract on a house... how will this work?

[Ronald Fontenot Jr]

I have negotiated a contract on a home and am considering a creative exit plan. 

The seller is willing to allow me to secure the house with the contract at our price of 250k. ARV is 360k at minimum. Rehab is 40-50k.

Rather than wholesale it, which doesn't really work with the 70% rule of thumb, seller is willing to allow me to rehab the house while they technically still own it. This avoids me having to get hard money loan to purchase it as well as the cost of  that. Once rehab is done, the home will be listed with a realtor and sold at market.  When sold, seller gets his 250k, I get the rest. 

Is this a workable structure? How would I secure my interest once the house is listed since I think my contract would have to be canceled for the seller to list it?

@Ronald Fontenot Jr this is a really bad idea. You’ll be putting tens of thousands of dollars into somebody else’s house that you do not own.  Don’t do it.

Consider a Sub2 deal where the seller deeds the house to you subject to the existing mortgage. You'll need to make mortgage payments and will pay it off when you sell.

There is a very small chance the bank will call the loan and even if they did you should be able to complete your rehab and sell before those wheels get turning.
