(so jealous)I am sorry that my reply will kind of suck, but the way I got it, .. well my lawyer kept swearing at me when I used my fancy assIgnment contract... so after I wouldn't budge, they gave me one for free.Being annoying ALWAYS makes things better (for you).I think you need to ask your local closing person what it should include.

I have very good connections with zoning lawyers and demolition guys as well.

@Eden Avalos I would speak to a Real Estate Lawyer. 

@Brian BabbageIt is possible to avoid the 10% penalty, but it involves getting a 401k lawyer, being in the correct state, Texas is one of them.

For example- in Mexico you can either go or not go with real estate agent, but you def need an attorney, a notary (which is not like a notary in the US- they are lawyers and do the title clearance etc.

My two partners and I are all lawyers who have been working in commercial real estate transactions for the past six years and are finally looking to jump into the investing space ourselves. 

An LLC can be created in 10 minutes for $99 online in my state (Indiana).That all being said an LLC is probably the route for you, but I'm not a lawyer, this isn't legal advice and you should speak to your attorney and CPA to be sure.

A lawyer recommended TD for escrow accounts and working with them to open and close out these accounts is consistently fast and easy.

@Justin Butterfield I am not a lawyer but I doubt It is co-mingling fund to deposit it into the LLC account.

As the Assignee, should we be using our own lawyer, or is using the wholesalers lawyer sufficient.
