Realtors on both end want to see some skin in the game, thus earnest money deposit.

Also I am playing on the few persons who don't pay their leins off and I can apply for the tax deed after 2 years and then I control the property.

If the bank feels that neither party (builder or investor) has enough skin in the game, they will tend to require that at least one party puts down cash.

Can I do a double closing or will seasoning issues come into play?

I am fairly new at the the whole investing game but the owner of the development firm took me under their wing and decided to walk me through the process.

This is where your realtor friend comes into play... they will tell you the price that you should be able to get if you try to sell a house retail in less than 1 month.As for repairs...
