Out of curiousity, is assigning the contract-(wholesaling) in  MF in WA legal using an escrow-title co?

does anybody know a good investor-friendly title company that does assignments in Lehigh County or surrounding area of Pennsylvania

I receive many leads monthly that are all over the US - we have been investing for many years -recently with the abundant of leads- we found that we can't keep up with them--I have had great success using my control and roll system here in Maryland (assigning over 200 transactions a year) and other close by states, where it is not so hard to view the property and sell it using our auction method of sales (marketing), our problem - it is hard to evaluate the comps and get good local and true opinion of value.The other situation is that they are calling me to BUY their property - and when the full disclosure say I am going to market the building and take an assignment fee - it just does not ring well with the seller - they want a sale - they want their cash equity and they want it now.Sure the VA can be trained to get the required information (that's the easy part of this deal) - but can they get you true and accurate comparable sales and an estimate of value for a quick sale, can they negotiate price and talk to agents and auctioneers. 

With that being said, the way we would handle an exchange all that is needed to ensure the 1031 is to make the contract assignable.  

If you got a quit claim deed and assignment of rights before the auction, you could bid as high as you want at the tax auction then claim the Overage yourself. 

If we use a title company that is not investor friendly- that can cause a lot of issues with closing because they may not understand the assignment process or wholesaling all together.
