Protecting Your Wholesale/Flip ?

How does one keep the potential buyer from going behind your back to deal and buy directly from the seller?

Suppose you give the potential buyer the property address/location and he meets with the seller and decides to buy with the seller at
the seller’s price (a lower price than yours).

I heard that one can wholesale without money or credit. The Purchase & Sales Contract call for earnest money to be put down.

If one does not have large earnest money deposits and uses an Option Agreement with no option money or $10 to put a contract on the property, how does one keep the potential buyer from dealing directly with the seller at a lower price that you?

The potential buyer will want the property address and location before he can make an offer.

You should sign a purchase contact with the seller prior to advertising the property. Your purchase contract should indicate that you OR your assigned is the buyer. This way the seller is locked in a contract with you can cannot sell to the potential buyer. Once you locate a buyer they sign the assignment contract making them legally responsible for the purchase contract.
