No matter what you do I think you really want to consider renting it out for at least a year to convert the ($130k minus $13k in closing costs, minus $80 cost basis = ) $37k in profit from regular income down to long term capital gains.

I have a background in lending, have been a Realtor for 25 years, understand creative financing really well...however in all of my asking about this I have not yet found anyone that has successfully closed a subto in a fully legit way. 

Understanding these terms can often lead you to the correct answer in the multiple-choice format.

Thanks @Michael Plaks :If brought condo for STR purpose, almost end of the year say in Nov, also purchased all furnitures etc to make it ready for STR. what if it didn't get rented by end of the year, so :Total rented days in year = 0 Toal personl days stay at property  = 0 Does it still qualify for deductions(cost seggrigation, tax, closing cost etc for business use prep), similar to if it was rented (even if for couple days in a year) ?

Sorry, "net" was a poor choice of word.

So, you may need to work nights & weekends to get jobs done quickly so the transaction closes on time:(Find a decent middle ground JUST SO YOU CAN MAKE CONNECTIONS:)Tell every agent after you finish a job that you're looking for fixer-uppers!!!

CT is where I am located and for this state it's 5% EMD and the rest no sooner than 21 days but no later than 30 (that timeframe is when the closing process with the seller/borrower will take place)...But since my state has a judicial foreclosure process and every step must be court-approved I just wasn't sure if I have to put down 5% EMD before it gets approved or after(I want to note that the clock for the 21 to 30-day timeframe to close doesn't start until the court approves the sale) 

Will you make a profit after all selling/closing expenses?
