Scott's attorney.Equitable title passes upon executing a sale contract, I've not seen many listings, property for sale by "Vendee" or "equitable title holder".

We are working with a QI, we just executed the agreement on my BOSTON condo.

This particular 8-unit apartment is in that zone of the city where I usually recommend that most investors stay away from, especially out of state owners.The owner, who is out of state, is at the point where he just wants out and we were introduced to him by another out of state landlord we do work for in the city.Here is the plan we are currently executing at the property:going one-by-one into the vacant units, taking care of any of the deferred maintenance, and listing the units for rent. 4 of the 8 units were vacant when we took over 25 days ago and now two of them have been turned over and rented. 

The staff in the AHA office is very helpful.  

Alternatively, they may create internal systems using office staff, a researcher at the recorder and a data vendor such as Title Point (at a cost of perhaps several thousand dollars per month).

The proper jurisdiction governing any real estate transaction will be the state where the property is located, not where a contract may be created or executed. 

Nope there is no way to assign...banks will never allow that..Your only bet is, to get hard money, actually close on the deal, and flip it an investor, look for a company that does transitional funding...these companies will want to see your buyers proof they can close, they are going to want to see executed contract on both sides.

Do I get a title search completed following the execution of the contract?

I am upfront and honest with my buyers and sellers, and would like to avoid the complications anyway ... so I will ONLY stick to an assignmentAgain, all I am trying to figure out is the correct forms to use and/or the method of execution with formsThanks Guys!

We charge 5% of gross lease to manage, with a $250 leasing fee that gets paid out as bonuses to the maintenance staff that got the unit rent ready.
