As for the dog poop smell... is this not a subjective issue?

So a contract that I sign today might say that I will take possession and begin making payments on August 1st, while the purchase will be completed on or before July 31st 2020.Another way to do it is to buy subject to the financing.

Most private lenders are over 10% with about 2 to 5 points on the deal and most won't lend at the about 70 LTV of the subject property.If you have this offer on the table, I would seriously consider taking it immediately as long as the cash flow makes sense.

I certainly wouldn't recommend taking over a property subject 2 that is upside down 30k

Create a wrap mortgage which puts it at a second position to the first and sell subject to the first mortgage

Liz - you can use contingency clauses such as "ability to close is contingent upon funders approval" or "ability to close is subject to inspection.". 

I've never read a book on the subject but BP and there is a great Facebook group called Wholesaling Houses Full Time - Alex Joungblood.  

The subject line said "looking for house in __________." 

I can tell you know a lot about the subject I am very interested right now (Turnkey Rental Properties), and I checked your website which has a lot of cool stuff.

It may also be a subject to, if the advice is run with a quick flip.
