Would you rather purchase a property prematurely, not have enough funds and suffer from consequences or be financially secure, ready and then go for the right deals with safety/security?

Or would it be jumping into the deep end prematurely?

What happens at your closing, if it’s assigned, double closed or traded for a pack of gum, is utterly irrelevant, because the law would already have been broken if that person double closing had at any point prior to the closing “offered to sell” or “ deals in real estate contracts” again what happens at the closing table is irrelevant because by that time the law would have already been violated, by the time someone is at your closing table and double closing a deal, presumably by “offering to sell” the law was already violated prior to them even coming to your closing table You might be right... if VA law actually read the way you claim.

Don't remove trees unless they're trash trees like gum balls or diseased. 

Viewing this as a mere failure could lead them to give up prematurely.

Did you prematurely post? 

Have notified all tenants its $100 for me to pick up a bubble gum wrapper.

It's premature to make that conclusion. 

Hi Scott,My husband and I would like to do our first flipping in the Phoenix - Scottsdale area.We are extremely new to this business so here is what we would like to start with :Buying with our own money a condo/small house of about $100.000, remodeling it, and sell it after 3 month more or less, or after whatever time will take to rehab the house.My husband is form Uruguay (South America) and his family own lands an real estate property down there and he used to manage those, meaning that he’s extremely and exquisitely handy so I’m premature sure he can do the work himself with a few people helping.The main goal of this operation would be get some experience in this business, without big risks, even if we won’t gain a lot of money it doesn’t really matter but not loosing obviously !

I had my handyman do it for 15K and now rented at a higher rate....Another property in Florida, the tenant left such a mess in the house (gum in the carpet, drawing on the walls, etc), and the property management Company (I think their name is Watson) wanted to fully refund the tenant their security deposit!
