@Tom Parris  Some good advice, except.....for an FHA buyer you simply can't sign a contract with them until 91 days after your purchase date...no 6 month rule.

Another aspect which mitigate some of this risk is to really understand the contract language.

Hello -We have contract on a 5 unit property which was advertised as 5 X 2BR/1BA.

I would like a separation of gas and electric, framing, dry wall and doors.

My father recently sold his lot with a triple wide manufactured home on it, on Bainbridge, and I have a verbal contract with the buyers to get the manufactured home off the lot in 2 years.

I've bought a couple deals from wholesalers, and it works out, but when I see the assignment fee that I'm paying, it just makes sense that I should go out and find my own deals--I'll have way more equity and my portfolio will be way healthier in terms of profitability and equity.There's a lot that goes into finding one's own deals--marketing for the leads, following up with the leads, getting them under contract. 

I have a couple land contracts and a mortgage on my primary residence.

Depending on where you live, even signing a purchase contract to then wholesale the property could obligate your spouse to the contract, and also give him rights to 1/2 of the gain from the wholesale activity.Although you indicated you are not seeking legal advice, my advice would be to get some before you embark on this activity. 

Went under contract back in August, was tied up in Bankruptcy court and took a long time to close. 

I am three months in to looking at properties, finding one, negotiating the deal, getting under contract, clearing inspection items and seller credit, getting the lender appraisal, etc etc.
