@Jonathan Greene Maybe my phrasing was wrong with this one, so sorry if it came off the wrong way.

I can call any real estate commission in the country and phrase my question on some matter, like assigning a contract, and I will get an affirmative answer.

The correct answer depends on your interpretation of the question.It might be easier to understand the book answer if the question was phrased a little differently, rather than “What is your expected value for this investment?"

I think I didn't phrase it right.

I also black out how much I am making on the contract, and this is legal as long as you phrase the assignment of contract correctly, because it should not be a concern to the end buyer how much I am making if his numbers work, whether 5k or 15k profit.

@Earl Louis  your posts are confusing... and make no sense.. if you want some constructive feedback suggest you re phrase

Birding dogging as you phrase it?

@Carlos ScarperoI am not sure that I am completely clear on your question as you phrased it but I will answer it this way:Two big advantages of getting a loan through a private money lender are:  (1) Speed (2) Flexibility.JJ

Perhaps shifting your mental to approach to a continuum of "Least Optimal" to "Most Optimal" is better phrasing.
