You wait for an inspection of your property, you wait for a re-inspection, you wait for them to decide on a price for your unit they you wait for them to call you in to sigh the contract. 

thanks Better yet, let the investor pay for the property and pay for materials and pay carrying costs while you manage and do the contracting side.

Is it acceptable to provide the agent with a purchase contract or standard to use the one he provided?

You just need a written contractors proposal to had off to Appraiser and lender will appraise to ARV, not purchase price on contract.

Also when I first started studying RE in 2016 I thought it would be smart to start a Facebook group for wholesalers in the New Orleans market, so I did, and today my Facebook group is at about 500 members strong.

It took me 55 years to stumble into it; sure wish I was smart enough to have figured it out sooner. 

i watch tons and tons of videos about flipping but they just mention the contract but never say where to get it from. 

We found two contractors and the bid we received to finish the work were higher than the bid we contracted to complete the entire rehab!

is a trust deed the best option in New Jersey or can I do a land contract?

Would specifically advertising the contract of sale or option with the seller's knowledge be enough to legally reach out to potential buyers, or are there still more developments that I would need to be aware of as well?
