AS THEY SAY - YOU LEARN MORE WHEN YOU DO IT AND I CAN COMPLETELY ENDORSE IT NOW :) Perhaps I would need to decide in the coming week whether to rent or sell our current town home and prepare our exit/rental strategy accordingly.

If you talking about assigning a sale contract, deeds are not involved, look up endorsements of contract assignments, that should get you in the ball park of an example of doing an assignment for the benefit of the assignee. :) 

As to the question of where to buy, I second the endorsement for South Philly close to Broad.

I think @Jay Hinrichs does such funding, not an endorsement, just information. :) 

pay the $100,000 on installmentshave the owner refinance the property and you take over or assume the mortgage, pay him the balance on installmentsdo a master lease for the $100,000, he gets to keep X dollars from the gross rental until paid offoffer him less, but give him a hybrid (a percentage of the sale of the property in the future)Offer a Front Porch clause, You'll paint the front porch and house for $100,000, he gives you a check you endorse it and give it back to him as your down paymentmortgage out, get a first mortgage for $100,000 he takes a second for the balanceThey are few ideas.Good luck,Charles

Alternative Asset custodians cannot give any tax, legal or investment advice, cannot assist with the structure of an investment, and cannot endorse, promote or align with specific investment sponsors.Administrators are the next type of company.

But, once you get into more expensive tools, over $1-5,000s, you will want those specifically endorsed to ensure better protection than the baseline property.  

I appreciate the endorsement.

The money's in the entertainment and endorsements.
