Contract Flipping
Real Estate How To



Contract Flipping 101:

There have been many books/videos/systems advertised on how to flip a real estate contract, of course they don't call it that.

There are many different ways of successfully completing this transaction the two forms primarily used are purchase agreements and options. This page will focus on purchase agreements and will provide a tutorial of how it can be done along with pitfalls, notes, and requirements.

RealEstate Contract Flipping Objectives

The objective is to secure a Purchase/Sale Agreement with a distressed or unconcerned property owner then assign your interest in the contract to a third party, collecting a fee. The fee is the difference between the contracted price on the purchase and sale agreement and the amount agreed upon for the assignment.

Contract Flipping Land Contract

Here's a Simple Residential Land Purchase and Sale Agreement. Once Signed by Seller and Buyer, the agreement can be delivered to the Closing Agent or Closing Company to begin the process of closing on the property.  If you intend to Assign the contract, which you are, ask the Seller for a 60 day closing and negotiate for a lesser deposit. I have had perspective buyers ask for no down and up to 90 days to close, repeatedly. 

Contract Flipping Note:
THE BEST CALLER told me her husband was in Iraq and he would be returning in 3 months. She really wants to purchase the property but couldn't until his return.  Her sister lives in the area and they are afraid the property won't be available when her husband returns.  She is positive he will love the property, as she does.  For my patience she would be willing to give me an additional $500.00 at closing, but the agreement has to be 0 down with a 90 day closing.

If you intend to Assign the Purchase and Sale Agreement to a third Party you will want to get the Prospect to sign a Non-Circumvent/ Non-Disclosure Agreement before divulging any information. This document is frequently used to ensure honesty and integrity, on the part of all parties. The perspective Assignee for the above P&S Agreement, once bound by the terms of the NCND Agreemeent with you, shall not enter into a contract, negotiation or agreement without written approval by intruducing party. It makes it difficult for a Prospect to enter a contract or agreement with your Seller and cut you from the deal. Likewise, you can't do that to other parties bound by this agreement either. People are a little more leary about cutting you out or using your source, once they sign the NCND Agreement.

Contract Flipping Note:Make sure that each party initials the bottom of each page of the below Non-Circumvent/Non-Disclosure Agreement.
