I look for non-inflated markets and work aggressively on the deals and finding my types of sellers.

Because you are forcing equity into the house you are sometimes able to pull back out the entire purchase and rehab process to return to your investor then you own the home with just the mortgage.

I find it silly when sellers force their exchange for an underperforming deal just to avoid $25k of taxes. 

Quote from @Scott MacComb: I am doing my first true house flip (have remodeled plenty of houses for rental) and am trying to figure out a contract to use with a new general contractor whom I have not worked with previously. 

That’s a critical distinction because our industry is so much about trust, empathy, and truly connecting with a seller.

This is specific to this, I have the detailed 411 on this, including full background on seller, why selling, how things have gone, maintenance history and recent updates/upgrades such as the newer roof, HVAC etc etc etc... 

PS; I house-hacked with my brother for 2 years. 

Quote from @Bob Beach: We're selling a few houses in Memphis, and we have interest (letter of intent), on one house that's requesting, "Seller Finance".

@Zach Howardthe wholesale hotline podcast was where i learned seller finance. 

Fortunately, the seller was cooperative and patient, and we only lost about two weeks in the process.
