It seems that when someone suggests that they will simply hand a birddog some cash outside of closing, that presents several problems and is illegal in every state.It's for the birddog to control, find an equitable compensation as well as to secure payment for services.

I took the red one.For me it was simply that I wanted to broaden my horizons far beyond what was in my face.

I am just more worried about my end buyer maybe notifying the seller and informing them so that he cuts me out of the deal.I have read so much about putting little or no money down for assignments, and all of the sudden I've seen three posts saying it must be done for it to be binding and or legal possibly.

I can only show it on the weekends and am trying to cut down on no shows by telling them to drive through the area first.

You simply find a house place it under contract then sell (assign) the contract (right to buy the house) to another buyer for a fee.

Wheatie nailed it...For proper tax cuts, CPA can guide you all the way.For minimizing taxes every which way, your CPA may not help you (falsifying).Creative ways are...

My understanding is that the LOI is simply a starting place to determine if a seller is truly motivated.

A few suggestions which I think would enhance biggerpockets (some taken from vBulletin), in no particular order:* multi-quote - the ability to select multiple posts for quoting* kudos - ability to register approval of a post, or agreement with a point, and then count these and somehow rate posters - just provides more incentive to share and try to be constructive and helpful * ability to view the forum in wide screen format (maybe you can but I can't see how - the forum text only takes up about 30% of the width of my screen)* more/better emoticons - happy to suggest some if you like ;)* also I'd like emoticons inserted where the cursor is, rather than always at the end of the text (ie if you edit and want to insert an emoticon in an earlier para, you seem to be only able to do it by cutting and pasting the emoticon, which is always inserted at the very end of the whole post)* I imagine this is related to the fact that whenever you format some text, your cursor is moved to the very end of the post; I'd rather the cursor be left where it was just prior to applying formatting (eg bold)* ability to report/hide abusive posts, to try and stop conversations degenerating into slanging matches :roll: Love the forum - thanks, Josh.

Sorry for this cut and paste, but I found a good article on Google regarding air rights.
