What is entailed with assigning a Tax Certificate?

I've set up the Title Companies that I use as Customers and have had each Wholesale Deal listed as a Job with the property address listed as the Job Name.Example:Customer Name: Big Country Title CompanyJob Name: 123 Main St-Abilene, TX 79603Listed Within the JobInvoice to Big Country Title for Assignment FeePayment from Big Country TItle for Assignment FeeAny additional Item expenses such as closing costs, expense for lockboxs, photographer, etc. are also addedRun the P&L to find out total profit for the deal.I've actually been thinking about changing this to the Assignments as the Customer and then each property as a job versus having the title company be the customer.As you know for Job Costing you have to set up every "item" for it to go toward the job in order to run a P&L which is not a big deal for Wholesale deals as there are not that many line items to add.I'm now about to take down my first property to actually keep and flip which will entail a lot more line items such as buying and selling costs, rehab costs, holding costs, etc and all the individual charges for each of those.

I’m angry at myself for not doing the mental math, and angry at my agent for missing the dang bedroom, and angry at myself for leaning on my agent because I was too afraid to assert myself.Now, when I walk past that rehabbed house, which sold again this February for $235,000, my heart still races.
