Sounds like you are on the right track by asking various agents and finding which ones would work for your business.

Usually a seller won't do this unless it's with an experienced builder with an actual track record.  

If not you would need to wrap the existing note.The investors track record,liquidity, and net worth will come into play as well. 10% down is barely enough to pay for real estate commission and closing costs.

So I guess we're on the right track.

Our local track has an open track night most Wednesday's in the summer.

As of today there is a minimal amount of properties if any available were I have purchased (Riverside, Corona, Upland, Ca).Timing was everything, from being the first cash offer in and getting my offer accepted.As well as watching a property go from pending to active then quickly getting my offer in and accepted.The benefit with their platform is you can track your interest list.The Cons are when properties just get listed they typically add a premium that buyer has to pay.If you get one accepted be prepared to deal with customer service in India from start to finish.

The better the deal is the better your terms may be (eg. less downpayment, maybe less points/rate)2) The more experience you have and the better your track record the more likely you will get funded.

The list is getting too long to keep track, problems and variations are almost endless, redemption rights are pretty easy to overcome with escrows if such is applicable.

What is the best way to reduce your tax burden for flipping, besides keeping track of all expenses for deductions?

I'm expecting some guru's to give me grief.I've done two no money in deals just this year but the no money down is never my goal and they never would have happened had I not had a track record to show.
