Bird Dogging/Wholesaling/Property Assignment

[Todd Desper]

Hello, I am new to Bigger Pockets. I am looking to get started in wholesaling real estate to and eventually move in to flipping properties, and also buying some to hold for passive cash flow. I have studies numerous approaches, and most seem about the same: look for properties at the same time you're looking for investors and then connect the two. (Sorry for being straight-forward, but I am a 'nuts & bolts' kind of person, and try to remove the 'fluff' and not waste people's time).

A few years ago, I was literally embarrassed by trying to use...well, a TV guru's forms when trying to put properties under contract to assign them, when the real estate agent I personally new for over 10 years, pulled me aside and told me that I could not write my name/and or assigns on a Virginia Real Estate contract. I had invested so much time studying and felt so deflated, especially since I was trying to change my life not only for myself but for my family.

This leads me to where I am now. I want to start building a buyers list as well s looking for properties. However, I need some help in finding a contract which is legal and can be used in West Virginia. I need help in correctly filling them out; what to write in and where. Is there anyone that can help me. I would like to get started in a career in real estate.

Thanks,

Todd Desper
