And yes, I'm not too worried with missing out on some appreciation with rates climbing; again, renting would mean I could go to the table cash, which should make up for some, maybe all, of the costs of renting for a year.

I just want to make sure it has to go public and they don’t do some under table deal.

Hi Bryan,I suggest looking into the equity in your current residence to see if you may have some equity on the table.

I think there are only 2 components to wholesaling 1) assigning contracts (table flipping); 2) double closing (taking title and reselling)....

Much like "ratholing" in poker where the player takes his chips off the table and ends up only playing with the banks money. 

House door is open, work gloves were on the table.

I like to keep things relatively equal, but if someone is bringing expertise to the table that adds value you otherwise wouldn't have realized then they should be compensated accordingly.

Unless he brings a lot more to the table. 

By the time the realtors and uncle Sam leave your closing table, you'll wish you'd kept over the long run is my guess.
