@Allison Meggison Just be aware that wholesaling as commonly described here on BP (contract assignment on a property that you don't already own, with a markup to another party) is illegal in Maine - and most other states.
Penalties here are $2,000 per incident plus forfeiture of all profits. Lots of people are doing it, but all it takes is for a disgruntled family member to file a complaint.
If you actually close and then re-market the property, you're in the clear. If you close on it and rehab it, you're not only in the clear but you'll also add value and in that case, everybody wins.
