Remember as real estate investors we should look for motivated sellers and not be motivated buyers.

When the buyer purchases the property  the 1031 must start and the proceeds must go into your 1031 account. 

I'm an agent so I can sell it with just a 2.5% co-op fee to the buyer's agent.Check this out:Obviously I hope to clear more than  $5,200 but these number are conservative and worst case scenario I can rent this place for a nice cash flow if the numbers look bad when I'm done the rehab. 

There is no fee to hire a buyer's agent to use the MLS, nor purchase a property on the MLS through them.

Residential brokers and agents are used to buyers being flaky and non-committal to anyone.

Hey Sam,You'd have to owner finance to your buyer to keep the sellers mortgage in place (or something similar).

Thats not to say that there aren't people out there who have success in flipping in the sub-$150k market, just be prepared for the potential for longer marketing times and buyers using grants and other programs that complicate and slowdown the process.

I want to do right by my end-buyers by giving great deals.

Hi,I have a small 2/1 in Seminole Heights that I am looking to rehab to make ideal for a first time home buyer.

Went to inspect one yesterday in fact, as it was Unoccupied and the Realtor could grant me access...many you can not get into so it’s buyer beware.
