I am very analytical, probably because of my daily job.

They want to get the checks from the deal, but not be involved in the daily nuances.

I have been involved with my agricultural export and domestic supply business in recent years that only until now I can learn about the real estate business, which has always been an aspiration to me since college.Truly hope to be able to learn from each and everyone in this community, I have been reading many posts here on daily basis and it has really helped me get a better understanding regarding real estate investing and how to begin.

Ned Carey already give you a great starting pointDo not forget about the podcasts underthe " learn " tab and daily new blogs

Im looking for examples of assignment contracts that real people use on a daily basis.

Seems to me the smarter thing for them would be to have their money secured in an LP that owns the property so their liability is limited to the original investment.3) Also, I don't want a subordinate investor trying to micro-manage the daily operations of the business.

We usually look to get about 3% or a hair above.

This is made up of you and your direct partners who work daily side by side with you.

Hi Michael,In "real life" (opposed to my secret investor identity) I am a web developer and run Ally Web Solutions, LLC, on a daily basis.

Jason lots of fraud and criminals out there trying to make a quick buck.You could be sucked in and chosen "guilty by association" in the deal.We have a saying in the business.This deal has "too much hair on it" and you need to walk away.Many of these techniques with short sales squeaked by 3 or 4 years ago before bank guidelines were in place.Now with systems you cannot get away with anything if you wanted to.Before there were shades of grey that were closed out.I would see buyers write up a bill of sale and pay the seller 4,000 for JUNK for personal property.At the time certain things didn't have to be disclosed.Short sales made up only about 1 percent of loans when the market just started turning.So anyone looking at short sale techniques make sure they work TODAY and not from years ago.You will pay dearly for using old techniques that can get you in trouble that are not allowed today.You have to adapt and structure deals to stay in compliance with the ever changing laws.
