Hello Bigger Pockets community!

I really appreciate you sharing this information!

Thanks for sharing!

If you plan on keeping the property, all you need is an LLC which you would be the sole member of, unless he wants to be in it too, so share all those set up expenses, ask him..

Everyone is here to share their experiences.

Check out this great thread by Chris Piper at https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/862964-wholesaling-101-how-to-wholesale-for-beginnersI posted a link to it on my own recent thread, which you might also find useful, it has links to some of the resources I have checked recently https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93/topics/1197244-how-to-do-wholesaling-right-in-maryland-east-coast-and-nationwidePiper's thread is where I started my research and am very grateful to this person for dedicating his time to share so much of a valuable information.

We believe that the collective knowledge and insights from this community can be invaluable in helping us navigate the complexities and opportunities in this field.We are particularly interested in:Understanding the key challenges and best practices in new construction projectsLearning about effective project management strategiesInsights on securing financing and managing budgetsTips on choosing the right locations and marketsExperiences with regulatory and zoning issuesNetworking with potential collaborators, contractors, and service providersIf you have experience in new construction or are currently involved in such projects, we would love to hear from you.

You have a governmental authority using its power to hinder and regulate private transactions creating some kind of “litmus” test based on god knows whatYou have a seller remaining in a home he sold indefinitely.You have a lender that has twice filed for foreclosure You have a profit sharing arrangement upon resale with the seller/tenantYou’re performing repairs/maintenance on a house while occupied by the seller/tenantAny or all these are lawsuit magnets.If you buy a property, and the seller is a consumer, not an investor, you should NEVER do a profit participation.  

But I have experience, seen 100s of bids, and I'm happy to share it.
