All the book examples out there seem to only point to making cash offers on deals found this way.I realize that if it's too distressed, a bank won't lend on it and other financing will be necessary (hard money, partnership, private lenders, etc).

You will also get to see a few "good" deals come across your desk that you may want to jump on!

Would it be % based or  a per deal fee or what? 

Then branch out to do more deals that way for buy and hold rentals once we get settled into our new home.

I am an experienced flipper, and I got into this deal with plenty of margin, so cashflowing out of it at the end is not a concern, but I need the liquid cash to get it there. 

@Louis Zameryka - Prices are high, but you can most definitely still find cash flowing deals.
