The house needs work after the initial showing, foundation problem cost $12000 dollars to repair, roof needs to replace within 2 years (showing signs of wear) so another $ 5000, plus minor wood rots and other things $3000 if I do the work.  

The size of the waterway is often irrelevant since rivers and streams dry up and become navigable in other seasons.

The only reason I even list my houses before they are dried in is because my bank will not count a pre sale against my pre approved 12 loans I can have at any time ...

One thing to consider is that not everyone records their assignments, so there could be a number of "dry" unrecorded assignments prior to yours. 

If mopped, dirty water is simply moved around to be deposited in other grout lines where it settles and dries.

We want to flip one or two houses within the next 5 years (not at the same time) as a "dry run" to see how well it works for us. 

Those opportunities are drying up, so I may have to start marketing to establish a steady deal flow.

The example is what a local brokerage got busted on when the end investors dried up and the deals went south.

It's a very cut and dry system.
