[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ The Forum Board ] [ FAQ ] Maybe, but certainly not in CA.. Posted by Ward-CA- on March 29, 2002 at 6:57 PM In Reply to: Is this possible? posted by Jason on March 29, 2002 at 1:51 PM : First off I would like to say this is my first time posting. I stumbled across this board while doing some foreclosure research. Anyhow, here is my question. : I read on one foreclosure site about a method called flipping. It said you can go to an owner of a house before foreclosure and put a contract to buy it for $10 and then sell it to an investor willing to put up the money to buy the house. Then you both profit. Is this a good idea and can it be done? =•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•=•= Jason, I’m sure somewhere in the backwoods of KY such a scheme might be possible, but here in CA you can’t because of Civil Code Section 1695.17(a)(b). That section prevents you from being a front man or representative for someone else without you having a CA real estate license and a bond issued by a surety insurer in an amount equal to twice the market value of the property that’s the subject of the contract.
