    I am a mortgage broker, and I don't think that sort of a deal will fly FHA. They adn mortgage lenders in general have rules designed to prevent you from making quick money.

    I think your best best may be buying an option from the seller and selling that option to the buyer. The buyer would have to have a compelling reason to pay you money, such as he is getting a good deal on the price.

    Example:

    Market value is $100,000
    You pay $100 to the seller for the option and right of first refusal to to buy his property for $85,000. You sell that option and right of first refusal to the buyer for $2,000.

    Now the buyer. can present the option to seller and buy the house for $85,000.

    You don't have to worry about seasoning issues, double closings, and mortgage loans and make a huge profit for a short time investment.

    Just a tought!
