This is exactly what I did when I was starting out, simply because I was so tight on cash in those days and needed to conserve capital at every opportunity.If you do decide to perform your own title search, just be sure that you're getting a Warranty Deed from your seller, and that you're issuing a Quit Claim Deed when you sell the property to your buyer.

Put a dead line or expiration date on all offers, otherwise they can come back a week later and accept when you have made another offer. 72 hrs is plenty of time.
