I didn't use an attorney and they had their attorney quietly sliding innocent-looking clauses into the contract.

I just received two different verbal offers that I'm willing to accept, but don't want to waste time with someone whose deal may fall through.What are my options to enter into a contract with someone who is qualified?

So if all you’re looking for is to put a property under contract that won’t be hard.

Water, power (no gas) are billed directly from the utilities company. 

I would like to get into the flipping game, buying a house in the market wherever she can get a contract in, and my full time job is to flip the house.

Obviously none of they knew of the fire or looked at the property in the last few days.At tax sale I have seen people have bought:US Army bombing rangeExpired lease on propertyhouse with 3 walls, 4th wall missingsliver of land 2 feet wide50 foot cliff, access by helicopter onlyland at bottom of man made lake (literally underwater property)wetlandsflood plainsunbuildable propertyfailed perk testhistoric dig site, can't disturbproperty with no road frontagecondemned propertyproperty already scheduled for demolition soonformer gas station with leaking gas and oil tanks undergrounddry cleaning plant with toxic wasteSuper fund sitechromium factory with tanks and barrels of an unknown liquiddistillery with full barrells (ATF and state government was very interested and wanted to seize and destroy those barrells)Bigger Pockets Podcast #82 

Is it complex to service the contract myself?

And rarely will you net as much or more from an investor than you would from  listing with an agent.Interveiw agents commissins are negotiable so negotiate those.. and these are very simple transactions so any competent attorney can reveiw the contract etc..

We did consider/evaluate that option, and have done multiple flips, but at those points have been under contract since New Year's Eve and carrying costs for another 2-3 months without a guaranteed sale is not the risk we want to assume.

👏Regarding subcontractor contracts, it’s essential to have a well-thought-out document to ensure clarity and protect all parties involved.
