Originally posted by Andrew Isaacs:The default rule is that contracts ARE assignable, but the actual terms of a contract always trump the default rule.Some state contracts specifically indicate that the contract is NOT assignable, unless agreed upon in writing by both parties...in other words, the default is that the contract is not assignable for those contracts...

I just can't stand throwing $2000+ at rent month after month.

Each property should be able to stand alone - you do not need to put other funds into it.

Depends on title, with a contract for deed either party may take the deductions allowed.

Bill Gulley, What this boils down to is a private entity using the force of law to usurp legal contracts between other private parties so that entity can in turn profit.

As buyer C, and expecting to purchase from seller A, all u need to do is check current title which would have reviled that another party (seller A) was the one on title.

Will the new surfaces be ruined or stand strong?

In some areas that I buy in, there are third parties that certify the taxes and municipal utilities that have been paid and which are still due; this certification took over 1 week for a purchase I made at end of 2011.

As a wholesaler always remember that all the other party is concerned about is WIIFM (what's in it for me?).

You either accept this risk, and trust the parties that will be having access to this sensitive information, or you don't do this type of deal.Ask the agent how they want the "offer" presented - signed, one page LOI, full realtor contract, etc.
