You are ahead of most people that buy into the courses and mentors in that you have two properties and see it works. 

I don't personally buy assignment real estate  but I am on countless mailing lists.

I'm looking for deal structure, pros and cons, tips, etc.My goal is to buy some of these new small affordable starter homes at a price that will cash flow, after foregoing my half of the equity split. 

We have a lot of expenses since we buy our properties distressed and put a lot of sweat equity in them.

Many Multi-family properties now in debt service trouble as the GPs took out very risky 2-3 yr floating rate or adjustable loans so they could cash flow after buying very expensive 3Cap apartments, which loans have gone from 1.5% to 5% or higher, and knowing that obvious and predictable risk since every primate could see mega-inflation coming in early 2021 due to more money printed in 2 yrs than first 200 yrs of country, They "smartly" took out Rate Cap insurance, (cost 50k for a 12 month policy on 10mil loan to cap variable insurance rise about 1-1.5% above the origination level) but now that US 10yr up 10x from 0.31 in 3/2020 to 4.2%, that same insurance policy is 1.5-2.0 million not 50K, so They can't cover the much higher debt service nor buy new cap insurance without shutting down distributions or capital calls.

They are in the home buying process but may not find a home until next year.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Murrieta.

Have a buyer who wants to buy a home in CO, but lives in CA.

I'm talking to a few about eventually looking at long term rentals as the STR market seems to be pricing the locals out of the buying market.  

why would you buy a prop for 2.2 mill that maybe will sell for 2.5?
