Is an 'Agreement for Sale' a good option for avoiding bank loans?

[Bryan Wilson]

Hi there, 

I am currently looking at expanding my portfolio, but with a smaller budget, and two single family homes on the books already, I am looking to get creative in acquiring my next property. There are a few (apparently) decent deals available, but I'm a bit uneasy with the Agreement for Sale model. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated, before I move forward. Thanks in advance!
