Agency agreements also have "protected periods" that extend the agreement (usually for the same term as the agreement) in the event any transaction is made where the agent was the procuring cause of that transaction.

You motivation is based on money you'll be getting from the "fence" willing to buy from you out of your illegal and unethical dealings, but there is no law against buying a property, but buyers can get into trouble if they don't keep their distance from wholesalers and not being seen as a procuring cause affiliated with them. 

Recently I was a partner on a rehab/flip in Village Park, we procured the house for a fair price, applied a modest budget to the rehab, created an attractive home for most buyers and made a healthy profit - This is a very desirable neighborhood with amenities and a great school district.

You will need to send a demand letter to the buyer and the title company requesting the money and eventually a small claims action might be necessary if there is no resolution.You are free to procure another buyer without the release of EM being signed

If the contract is procured by FRAUD, how much "control" do they really have.

We're talking super-cheap procurement on their part (<$45k).

About me: I'm a remote business professional working in Procurement, born & raised in Tampa Bay and have explored this great state all over.

The 2nd biggest bottleneck I face is the procurement of materials.

Unsure if able to procure the loan for a 1st time home buyer.2nd - Find a distressed property, seek a hard money loan for cost of house + repairs.

You need to develop a good working relationship with the type of inspector that you can trust and rely on to give you this information first hand and not rely on the roofer that the realtor procured to come out and make sure the deal closed.
