If finance a flip with conventional mortgage? would that be ok to sell right away in 1 month?
is there any potential issues of doing that?

I don't believe you are correct.
Not only have I never seen a contract restriction on holding time for a conventional loan (I've gotten conventional loans that I've paid off in less than 30 days), I've never seen a prepayment penalty that applies to a specific period of time, I've never seen a deed restriction imposed by a conventional loan contract and I've never read in any conventional loan docs that the borrower is required to hold the loan for a specific period of time.
Maybe I've just been missing it. Can you provide further detail about how this restriction is written into the contract and/or how it is enforced?
