If you are in straight city limits you are most likely looking at a buy and hold for cash-flow. 

My worst bad beat was flopping a set of Aces, going heads up against a very young aggressive player half-way into the tourney, and watching him draw out TWO running cards to a straight with junk in his hand!

The house will just not be straight cash but on terms.

They have been very responsive and have proven to be honest and straight forward with pricing and status updates.

Since you intend to fix and flip, figure out what you would spend in hard money costs (points & interest), then offer the seller that much more in exchange for carrying a 12 month straight note (no interest or payments).

I'm a long time podcast listener and just joined the site and went straight for Pro!

So if you have the cash available, and have confidence in your lender being able to close then remove your financing contingency submit a straight clean cash offer and then after it is accepted get your lender to fund it.

When looking for deals, I call straight the listing agent and not my realtor, it makes the whole process faster and I get more chances of getting my offer approved.

@John Thedford - have you collected points in any of your loans, or just straight interest?

And you kept a straight face?
