-Ask him why he's selling (this will likely bring up a pain point for the seller, which is good for a sale: bad property management, bad tenant experience, doesn't have time, no longer lives in the area so he/she can't properly run the property, etc.)

ID the replacement property within the first 45 calendars of Property #1’s sale.

Purchase price: $31,000 Cash invested: $55,000 Sale price: $115,0002nd flip. 3/2, 1300 sf.

Based on what I'm seeing number wise I'm thinking of just letting the company handle the sale (all closing costs covered by them, going to negotiate buying costs as well) and moving on.

Purchase price: $77,000 Sale price: $109,000 House hack, no upgrades other than a little interior paint to cover up some oil stains and repainted the trim to the backdoor, and we put some mulch in the frontyard around the tree and under the shrubs.

I would want to determine if the current lienholder has a due on sale clause. 

To make a long story short, we have a lot in Woodinville, WA (outside Seattle) for sale.

Is there sales tax on real estate?

And I think getting a short sale will be difficult, as you have to show all of your assets and a lot of banks won't agree to a short sale, if you have cash and other assets.

Another option without bringing in equity partners would be to see if the seller would owner finance a portion of the sale price in second position, say 30% and then get a first mortgage for 80%, so that you are effectively borrowing 10% more than the costs.
