@Joshua SchoenbergI think you have the right approach.  

If the Seller requires that you close at their title company, you can approach it one of three ways.1) You can ask if that title company will do same day back to back closings.

Is that approach unusual?

I love your practical approach to getting it done.  

Thanks for sharing @Rick H. there is no one perfect system that leads to profits.Solve problems, vary approach, follow up

I will be certain to take your advice for determining my approach up there.

There is no perfect science, but making sure you approach the deal with a skeptical / conservative eye is important.

I subscribe to quite a few metrics followings and believe Cushman Wakefield puts out excellent analytics on the numbers and forecasts based on facts and not emotional poppy ****.

If there are any suggestions on how to approach my first flip feel free to chime in. 

I personally would rather be an investor/landlord willing to help than not to, as I have found the ethical approach to what my parents always told me growing up to "always treat others as you'd like to be treated" to be very fruitful in this game of life (and real estate) we all play.
