I like the cooperative assignment approach the best.

I don't know who, how to approach a title company to provide me this type of service Any advice appreciated.

There's lots of discussion about both approaches here.Either one requires buying right, and that means significantly below retail prices.

Greed has gotten us where we are now and if you take a self-serving approach to your wholesaling, you will not be very successful.

Does this change anything up in terms of how I should approach the short sale?

Groups are a great new upgrade brought to you by the hard working programmers at BiggerPockets!

Let me go over a few of the fact so people can better help.The note went into foreclosure about 2 years ago when we got past due but we brought if current with all shortly after that happened (19 months ago).The taxes are indeed past due but not up for tax sale for 2 years and we usually pay in November.

I hope it's the first, in which case you are the one with the knowledge and the guts to put the deal together and your time and energy is worth charging high fees.After all they would not be receiving the built equity that they are receiving buy buying under FMV had you not brought them this deal.

Also, at what point is the assignee brought in?

Finding Tenant Buyers FIRST (get a website just for Tenant Buyers) and go find a house they can afford (chicken and the egg dilemma) is my preferred approach.
