Thank you for great reply .rehabbers are smart people and steal the deals if not locked under contractwould you feel secured showing a property that is not locked under contract to cash buyers ?

This will "cloud title" and make it more difficult for an unethical second wholesaler to steal the deal.ORRRRRR....One wholesaler has the deal under contract and he's having a difficult time moving the property and he's given a flex option contract to a second wholesaler to try to move the property before it expires.

At this point it was clear they were trying to steal the property from me and cut me out of the deal.

The property seems a steal, the potential partner has done all the leg work finding tje property and they have their own general contracting company and this would be my first ever deal. 

Therefore, this is before your C end buyer even gets involved with you, the B investor.To answer your second question, you have to sign a contract with A seller and control the transaction so that C buyer cannot "steal" the property.  

How are those Northrop Stealth Bomber contracts coming along?

@Matt Katsaris rest assured, this is normal practice.There was a lawsuit several years back against a title company that had an employee steal the escrow money.  

If someone wants out or someone wants to steal the deal from you then even a standard contract won't protect you.

Please feel free to steal the spreadsheet if you like it!
