Just found this - Check out REI SKIP or PropStream.

Is this like marketing properties that you don't have under contract and pocketing EMD or assignment fees, never closing and skipping town?

If you have an incredible lender like ours, they provide free extra services such as offering to escrow any day of the week (including Sunday), preliminary title checks on auction properties, skip trace services, automatic comps/valuation. 

Skip the wholesaling...

They skipped July, but will have a meeting in August. 

B and C can say we gave the money to A and he skipped town, or I don't know what he's done with the money.

Why not skip the GC and get subs yourself?  

I just think if I skip, I might regret it if it becomes a major issue down the line and I end up paying 100k for some ridiculous environment cleanup.

Skip any joint venture agreement or any equity sharing unless the seller won't work with you any other way. 

If it's not close to 1%, I skip it, otherwise, I plug in the numbers into my spreadsheet. 2k rent for 3/2 in Upper Fells is reasonable, you just have to find a home around 200k or less. 10% for repairs AND 10% for capex is high.
