You guys have definitely given me some food for thought...David, btw, if I were to buy it as an investor from the seller for a rental, that would put me in the same situation as him, correct?

I am such a newbie and definitely humbled by all the great information/food for thought you all provide.

Here is my gibberish on the subject, just food for thought...If the seller is selling a package deal and your buyer is willing to buy this package deal of seven properties, then there should not be an issue as one transaction, hence one assignment fee.IMO, there will be seven different and separate closing transactions unless these properties are all connected to the same piece of land, regardless if sold as a package deal, it will be seven different assignments lumped into one check.On the other hand, it may also be just as good an idea to accept seven different assignment fees.

In addition Tennessee has a very high sales tax . 9.75 % on many items and I think 7.25% on food.   

Food for thought.

Towne Lake was the back woods of my house and it was called the thousand acres before that because it went all the way to lake Allatoona.Woodstock for Bells Ferry used to be just a dirt road and a gas station with food in it and that was it way back.Woodstock had poor planning with roads that inhibited growth but now it is doing better.

Just some food for thought.

Like insurance, food, gas,....I am sure you get the point.
