Hard money can be hard to pay back if your flip does not go well.....I suggest you CONTROL the property with a delayed settlement with right of possession, and during your study period, fix it up a little and and sell it at public auction, assign  your contract to buyer using an assignment agreement.The auction will be a "reserve auction", as is for all cash.Example:  if your contact is for $100,000 and you feel it is worth more, do a little cosmetics, contact  a friendly auctioneer, market the property (make arrangement with the auctioneer for a referral fee), set a reserve and auction the property.
