Which comes First??

[Forest Williams]

Which come first, signed purchase and sales agreement or Assignment of contract?

I always get those confused...

[Steven Stokes]

1. Locate the property

2. Put the property under contract either subject to, lease option, discount for wholesale, etc. 

3. Assign to third party (don't forget to collect your fee!)

I hope this helps. 

Additional: It does help having a list of buyers and renters available who can move quickly.

If you need help building that list let me know, I'll be happy to help.
