When should I double-close or wholetail a deal?

[Mike Lofton]

Hi BP Community!

(This is my first forum post - super excited!)

I just locked up my first purchase agreement that has substantial potential after a quick rehab...now the question is: what's next? Given the large spread between the ARV and purchase price, should I use private money and double close? With only surface-level knowledge of house flipping, I'm not exactly sure of the nuances and costs that come along with "wholetails" and flips.

Please let me know your thoughts - thanks!

I haven't done one yet, but to me it just seems that the wholetail approach is SO much better than trying to mess with the wholesale/assignment timeline, for a variety of reasons.  Only try to assign that deal if you really know your buyer, you know they have a track record, you know they can close and you feel comfortable with working with them.
