So bickering rather than proof of concept has taken over here ...EDIT - Kyle posted more details while I was typing away ...

Hey all,A relative of mine has asked me to advice them on the concept of house flipping -- buying derelict properties, renovating them completely, making them a home, and then selling them for a fantastic profit.

In some areas, zillow shows listing history for specific addresses.An agent can pull them from the MLS and send to you via email and that's much simpler to do.

I read through the entire thread and learned lots of valuable information.BTW, I understand what it is like to have an idea or concept take root in your mind, a question seeking an answer, giving neither rest nor quarter until that answer is found.

From how to find deals, how to brand and market yourself, useful websites and inexpensive tools to increase productivity, how to perform due diligence, and multiple for profit exit strategies.His course is very interactive and Scott gives many opportunities to ask questions and fully understand each concept presented.

Mike Weese's book 'Janitor to Multi-Millionaire" and I'm trying to wrap my head around the concept of him "...'

Hi Patrick, Check out wendypatton.com She offers a free E-Book on Sandwich Lease Options, and it gives you a basic understanding the concept.

@Gavin Welch,As previously mentioned, your idea is a common concept that is not new.

Since you obviously do not have experisnce with this technique I would recommend learning a little about the basic concept then if you want to try it do a Wholesale Lease Option where you just assign the paperwork to the tenant buyer and seller and just get to keep the option deposit as a fee.

The successful completion of each phase serves as a proof of concept and establishes a deal flow for executing the next phase.I am trying to go about this the "right way" by doing my due diligence ahead of time so that I reduce the number of times I say, "Well I've accomplished x, now what do I do?"
