I will write a blog about the process once we close!

In that situation, would you just try to find someone trustworthy enough to give you a referral fee say, instead of a formal contract assignment and have them just write up the offer so you aren't tied to it?

Jonathan, great write up man!

Fees should be clearly stated in writing, easy to understand, and justifiable.

The writing on the wall tells us Airbnb will be the biggest player in this space very soon (if they aren't already), and I want a good presence on there, with great reviews and Superhost status.Just my take.

Some insurance companies will not even write policies in Florida anymore.Your best deals will not be on Zillow or MLS and won't be a turn key property. 

Is it as simple as contract the new home with a move in date within 30 days, and write the lease back agreement with the current owners separately therefore leaving it still as a primary residence? 

Should I immediately write-off houses that past the 100 year mark?

Going to stop now as I am writing a book and not breaking for paragraphs or other grammatical structure and some of my old English teachers I helped invest, may read this. 

You compromised your lendability by taking write-offs to show you didn't make much so in a bank's eyes, you didn't make much.Any alternatives that are come here (sub to, seller finance) aren't realistic for a regular home buyer.
