Because my company has to be an active company (ROBS restrictions), I have to start out fixing and flipping, versus buying and holding. 

I heard that the greater than 1 year holding is based on how long my parents held it, not based on how long I held it.

Who holds the title. 4. are realtors involved, and closing cost.5.

Traditional buy-and-hold?

Long term hold appreciation investors primarily only have bragging rights.

Legals mate,Goes into company operating account and not title company.So in a way it isn't a "Deposit".Plus, would never hold onto it and would always refund as we aren't in the biz of "stealing" deposits per se.It's just a sign of good faith that an investor is willing to put their money where their mouth is and the verbiage also specifies this clearly.If they trust us and are going to purchase a turnkey property from us for $80,000 in cash for example, then there should be no hesitance in paying a $5,000 refundable deposit either.Who bulks at this, isn't serious and hasn't done enough research on our market, company and operation so it's a "no fit".Introduced this a while ago as a protection method to not waste time on calls, deal presentation, company resources, etc... only for someone to go MIA and steal all the inside knowledge they gained from us.
