Welcome to the game Aaron.You're in a great market that is sure on its way up.Since you're on the ground you'll have the upper hand compared to all of the out of state guys. 

So once the assignment contract is signed I just take it in to the title company?

. $1 isn‘t skIn in the game.

I am recently unemployed and am looking to get in the wholesale game in North Jersey.. any advice?

I figured they would be good to use to sift through all of the paperwork, title work, etc.  

But if you can come up with a game plan and execute, you will be see very good ROI.My property in Fruitvale is probably a good example for you. 

Once you are out of the bad deal, you can take the cash you do get out of it, and invest in a property that will make money...meaning, you will recover the temporary losses you have now, and start making a profit again.Staying with a bad hand, and continuously "betting on it", will get you out of the game fast. 

@Shannon Grierson changing title in Florida is simple but they will tax you on the change if you have a mortgage in place. 

(Not sure what the game plan is here... wait it out until we sell as well?)

if so you are now the bank.you want a mortgage or Deed of trustand a promissory note.you can get a 3rd party appraisal if you wish or you can establish your equity protection on your own.then you need a lenders title policy when you close.pretty simple stuff really.
