Flipping Properties

Hi to who all that maybe reading this topic that I am posting. I am a newbie in real estate investing a I have a question. I have a property that I am trying to purchase for 130k from the bank and the comps are coming in at 270 and up. what I would like to do is to wholesale the property for like 180-190k with a simultaneous closing. my question is when does flipping properties in this nature becomes illegal? also how much money can I make with a spread like this without it being illegal?

Thanks in advance

    Good luck in trying to purchase a $270K property from the bank for $130K.

    But if you can, Wholesaling, or flipping properties at any level of profitability is legal.... as long as the transaction is accurately depicted on the Hud 1.

    Is the property in bankruptcy?

    Was the proprty foreclosed on? Were you mentioned in the foreclosure lawsuit?

    The fact of an earlier book/page number in public records does not, in itself, guarantee that you are in first position.
