If and when you think you have a good deal and want to make money - what I have been doing for many years now is CONTROL the property with my SKINNY contract of sale - I will than look for an assignee to buy my contract for cash - I am an auctioneer and often will offer it at public auction - recently I have been getting leads all over the US and have been flipping houses without the need for a loan.In my opinion this is the highest leverage you can get - that is selling real estate you don't own and making money without the need for financing - there are a few moving parts - but once you  understand how those parts move - the profit will come.I hate financing - soft or hard - I just want to get to the bottom line as quickly as possible.When you CONTROL property with disclosure clauses - you have the power to make a profit - everyone wins - the seller and you - must be honest and ethical with all concerned.Once you have a property under contract - this gives you an equitable position - while the seller has legal ownership or position.Wishing you good luck --
