We currently work with several builders throughout the state and offer a turnkey solution for new construction investment opportunities.  

@Luis Herna, while I am not overly certain about TX's nuances, but they sound similar to Ohio, if you are collecting a commission, whether a fixed amount or a percentage of sales price, you are brokering deals and require a license.In my market the grey area solution is, like Daniel noted, actually close on the deal in a dual closing transaction, or formally assign the contract with an assignment fee tied to it.  

Often the solution that makes the most sense depends on whether you are doing 1 project at a time or 10 projects at a time. 

Your best solution is to sell. 

By find a solution to aid me for the mean time, like unemployment benefits etc.Please if you do comment with ideas or suggestions to be motivating.

Yes, they should be happy to do it and yes, you'll have to find alternative solutions for the buy and rehab.

I now have a solution for closing these deals without needing a more experienced partner.

However, your property manager should be able to guide you on legal options and solutions to secure the property and possibly help with claims for damages.

Or other solutions we should consider?
