If this subdivision attempt dies, the the whole deal is D.O.A and you've lost nothing.

If you attempt wholesaling - - be extremely cautious, as this can be seen as a conflict of interest to your agent status - - especially by your broker.

@Wesley Raye I did try my order again on another device (desktop in my case - both attempts).  

What I was really attempting to do was to relieve him of some of the signs and symptoms of the "tired landlord syndrome"  I diagnosed as setting in during the years following our leaving the nest.

Hello,After a few failed attempts at buying some multifamily buildings across North Texas, I am looking at a few section 8 investments.

How smart would it be to attempt this flip?

It's attempt to get over the FUD and let the market settle down.

I would run away from any agent/realtor or any other sales professional that attempted to pull such a fast one. 

I would get out of that property as quickly as you can and go put your money to work in a good property, otherwise your just extending the loss and pain.While I'm not an attorney, and I'm not giving legal advice, It's very common for bad properties to attempt to make things look nicer than things really are, as they want out.

If I understand it, he would be responsible for any financial loss incurred by you but you would be responsible to make a reasonable attempt to mitigate that loss (ie, get the place rented) as much as possible.
