I love the idea of fix & flip right now @Abigail King, especially right now here in Chicago and I am sure it is similar for you in central Illinois -- it's winter so there are way less buyers and if you can get under contract soon you can likely rehab over the winter months and hit the spring market!   

Without getting too deep into the weeds, there are a few ways to do this, including:- write up an assignable lease and an option to buy which the seller signs, then assign the lease and option agreements to a tenant-buyer.

I have a lot in East Rockaway, corner that I am helping the owner find a buyer...Trying to get more info on like zoning and how much you can build, Property shark has been useful in NYC but pretty useless in Long Island, can not even find basic info there, is there another website or resource I can use for more detailed property info?

My focus is on finding off-market deals and building a strong buyers’ list.

The idea was that the buyer we were financing to would fix the properties up BEFORE moving in.

Not saying there isnt any but when they do appear, they go fast and cash buyers prevail.

Hello buyers in the Spokane, WA area and the PNW!

Let me know if you want to hear more about some areas that we work with buyers on through the mid-south.

Quote from @Donald Hatter: Pros:- Builders have many homes to sell at one time so it is easier to negotiate a better deal than with a home owner in the same neighborhood who is trying to sell their primary residence - Buyers bust out of deals all the time and builders don't like holding completed homes- Lower maintenance which leads to easier property management expenses.
