Make sure you make full disclosures, be honest, do not try to get over on anybody and use a very simple contract of sale, I call it a skinny contract.

Here are some ideas:Control the property with a delayed settlement skinny contract of sale with the right of possession and the right to renovate.After ratification of your contract - do a lien and title report - make sure you are in a good position and the seller is able to close.Ask the seller for a "subordinated mortgage on the property for as much as possibleComplete your rehab and find a tenantGet the property appraised at a higher price due to your rehabUse the seller financing as your down paymentObtain a loan to pay the seller off - always ask for a prepayment discountAlternatively -Ask the seller to borrow as much as he can on the building with a one time assumption of the mortgage with release of liability after he assigns property to you - he keeps the proceeds, holds some of his equity on a second and you are in for nothing down.Ask to partner with the seller - you both apply for the loan - he keeps the cash and gives you a quick claim to the real estateAsk seller to give you the deed and you'll pay him later after you get a loanHave FUN this is a great business as long as you don't over FUND the deal!

Factoring in rising rates, cash-flow will already be skinny in the early years, and could even be below breakeven when rates rise if you have floating debt, which may complicate servicing your debt.

I've seen a few properties by wholesalers get bid remotely and the bid-ARV spread on some of those gets to be way too skinny for my conservative liking.
