When tax abatements or tax credits or economic development funds or syndicated funds are used, non-recourse safeguards investors or tax payers.

There are certain ethical safeguards that must be included in some of your transactions when you are a licensed RE Broker in WA or anywhere else, but there is no restriction on your doing what any other private citizen can do; sell a piece of real property.

@Kenya McCormack it is my opinion that the standard form contract protects both parties equally and a well written contract provides a competent buyer with more that enough safeguards.

A lot of the smaller lenders in my area (those who loan out $70K or less) will fund a flip in 'draws' = so the lender pays once the rehabber completes work....this can be one safeguard for the lender since you are only providing funds once the work is done.

Hi Christopher I not familiar with WA law but you can read my blog "how to beat the due on sale clause" which is for primarily California...At any rate here's a quick how I do it...If the deed is not recorded i.e. it's held in escrow and certain safeguards are in place to protect the buyer and seller...Then you just do a vendor vendee transfer in other words your new buyer will step into your shoes of course he pays you for the privilege...If the deed is recorded in your entities name preferably and LLC which by the way eliminates DF issues.. then you do a straight sale to the new buyer either he assumes your position with you holding a note etc... or goes to the bank for refining the loan..and pays everyone off..Anytime you hold a note your at risk make sure all payment are made to the collectio company then you'll know if your buyer is lateI have been doing Subject to's for over twenty years and have never had a bank even look my way..Always use a third party collection company to service all the debt on the property this is common and arouses no suspicion on the banks side...Any help write direct [email protected]

There is protocol one has to complete to list a note for the site, so it does have more safeguards that buying from a random individual online.

Currently I am using SafeGuard Capital Partners.

Flipping takes in a pretty big swath of strategies, IMO, anything that involves acquiring an interest (in whole or in part) and turning that inventory is flipping.Regulatory constraints are attempting to slow the process, eliminate some strategies and provide more consumer safeguards.

Conservative cost estimates are one of the my safeguards to ensure that I don't lose money on my first deal.

Whether you are a property owner or a contractor, it is always best to safeguard your position, in this matter.
