Navigating the 90-Day Flip Rule – Need Advice!

[Mike Romano]

Hey everyone,

I have a buyer ready to submit a full asking price offer on my flip, but the 90-day flip rule won’t be lifted for another two weeks. I really don’t want to lose this buyer—what’s the best way to make this work?

Would it be a good idea to take a deposit to secure the deal until the rule clears? Or should we sign the contract now and set the execution date for two weeks later?

Any advice or experiences with this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

advice would be not to commit mortgage fraud by getting FHA loans with the intention to flip the property..
