Before the real estate boom, I was having fun flipping fixers. the key is to make an offer with no contingencies.
-No financing contingency
-No contingency of selling the current house,
-I went as far as no inspection contingency. I'd bring a friend to look with me (and I'd look at houses for him- extra set of eyeballs) and if it looked like a money maker, I'd make a cash offer, and I could close as soon as docs are ready to sign.
Twice, I snagged a house its first day on the market, closed in less than a week, and after it closed, the sign guy got around to putting up the "For Sale" sign in the yard. I promptly yanked it out to keep the looky-loos from peeking in the windows.
