I've seen plenty of financing issues, title issues, or just "does this deal make sense" issues and I try to relay that experience to potential new clients.

Are their attorneys or title companies involved yet? 

Thanks for the tag @Russell Brazil...Here's a bit about my story:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/255...Basically, it was completely scripted (and my wife was SO sick during filming)...  

Hello everyone,Does anyone have any recommendations for title companies or closing agent that are familiar with wholesale transactions located in central Pennsylvania?

so to be successful at this end of it means.. you need great contacts at your title company that will give you a lot of information and also do a date down literally on the phone with you.. you catch 97% of what needs to be caught but your still taking risk.you need to be able to prep your own docs.. you need to get the seller to a reputable notary  preferably at a title company your going to end up using to resell so they know the deed was not forged or coerced .. then you need CASH to either pay off the loan that day or reinstate it.. you need great relationships with the trustee's handling these you should be on first name basis with the person in charge of the file.. then you need courier service to run the cashiers checks ( in my instance from Portland to Seattle to NW trustee services).

An investor who accepted to help me get started, asked me to put up the money for the repair on a property that is already purchased (I am not on the deed or title) for a return of 50% of the money I put in (after the property is repaired and sold) and When I asked, what's my security on the money I pay, I was told that we will be signing an affidavit of interest in real property.
