FHA 90-Day Flip Rule & Buyer Offer

[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 navigate this?

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?

I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share. Thanks in advance!
