I essentially turned $3,000 into $9,000 in a couple years.

Further, if you’re worried about ‘transaction funding’ costs – there are many title companies that now allow table funding (essentially you can use the funds from the second close to fund your first close)#4 Add disclosures to your Assignment (for buyers) and purchase contracts (for sellers)The myth that buyers will freak out when they see the large assignment fee that you’re making is misplaced.

I can monitor the MLS and other sources, I really just want someone to verify what I think I know and then do the paperwork for the offer/purchase.  

Essentially the question in the title.I ask because I'm a college student looking to start investing in real estate heavily once I graduate.

@Jeff Cagle I have heard that the appraised value of the property sticks with the property, so if the appraisal comes low - the Seller has an incentive to come down and meet the FHA appraisal price or essentially decline to sell to FHA buyers.

Essentially the focus is tenant management.

The borrower is still the owner.At sheriff sale, foreclosure auction you have the opportunity to bid on a property and essentially become the owner in whatever state it's in (the borrower may still be occupying etc).An REO is a property that the bank took back at auction and now owns.

Finally, your reputation is essential.

A written offer in North Carolina takes a minimum of 14 pages of paperwork.

These provisions relate to rights the new owner (buyer) has and include restrictions upon the current owner until closing, per @Mike Cumbie (although the prohibitions are essentially meaningless -- either the title is clear and/or acceptable at settlement and t)here is a closing, or it isn't and there is a dispute).Oh, and the "lending partner's approval" contingency tells me the buyer is a wholesaler who may or may not find an end buyer for this property... so this could be a complete waste of time.
