I also sometimes get profitable properties for sale to investors, directly from the seller. 

I'm looking for a short sale attorney who can work based off of incentives as opposed to just flat fees

My exit strategy play is to whole sale this property. 

I only accept bids from my subs which include full turnkey work for their trade/portion to prevent just that, and prevent that I get a call that oops, the electrician forgot to include 50' of service wire, so I need to run to hd out of my own pocket, and then find a 49' piece rolled up on-site that he'll take with since it was too short anyway.

Short sales, Reo and handy man special.

Their processes are drawn out and not only could you pay 30% plus it will take you 30% plus longer to complete your project based on their (both big box stores) installed sales processes. 

By placing a ghost ad(fake ad) for a property you have for sale on Craigslist.

Mine was a flip turn key property so with these new lower sales and the quicker relocation than I was expecting I would lose 15k just on sale price plus have to take a huge credit hit and lose my VA benefits.

I currently make a large portion of my under the table and is not verifiable income.

Do not cut any corners on a prospective deal to make it look better.Always do the math analysis and try to look at the prospective property before you submit an offer or at least have a clause in the sales contract that allows you some time (about 10 days) to make a detailed inspection without having a penalty that will hurt you too much.
