If not, my client will be forced to immediately file a motion with the court by placing a lis pendens against the property requesting specific performance of the sale.A couple of hours later seller's attorney rescinded the cancellation of the Contract. :)24 hours later, a listing agent congratulated me on getting this deal (yeah, right), and asked a favor to delay the closing date as the seller has no place to go yet.

I also will stipulate a contingency on habitability in my lease, stating if the septic fails, I'm out of the picture.

A picture of their name and profile come up, click on it. 

I have a couple of general newbie questions I was hoping someone could help with:When viewing duplex listings on sites like Zillow, some of the listings are obviously tenantless, as the pictures show bare rooms with no furniture, but some listings show fully-furnished rooms.  

Insurance was purchased should property damage occur but I have not made the former owners aware of my purchase and there are no records / pictures of the interior of the home.Expecting to have to gut the place anyway.Seeking someone to speak from experience.

The only way you are going to prove anything is if you happen to have a picture or some other documentation from when you purchased the place that the damage didn't exist at that time.  

@Deano Vulcano...Always, but I look at the total picture...

I am new so maybe I am being stupid, I don't understand why all these things can not be combined into one nice little package (and if no one is doing that right now I think I see a business opportunity for a few of us) Here is the big picture the way I see it, as long as a goal is reasonable there is no reason why it can not be accomplished by you as long as you do the same  things in the same way other people have done who got what you want before you. 

I am going to post pictures of what a house looks like with 6 feet of garbage through out it.. we had to knock the side walls out to get the garbage out...

every state is different.. although in my opinion .. if your definition of wholesaling is to1. put a property under contract with minimum EM and No TRUE ability to close yourself2. advertise it with pictures etc on craiglist or other media3. get compensated for bringing the parties together then I do beleive this is the definition of selling RE that requires licensure.. it jsut depends on if your caught . each state is different on how they enforce with many only doing something if a actual complaint is filed .. other states will troll Craiglist and bust folks.
