And more often than not its an older person, retiring who wants the steady check, doesnt need all the cash at once and is getting out of the investing game.look for grandma with a decaying apt building. shes your best bet.

Nope there is no way to assign...banks will never allow that..Your only bet is, to get hard money, actually close on the deal, and flip it an investor, look for a company that does transitional funding...these companies will want to see your buyers proof they can close, they are going to want to see executed contract on both sides.

I suggest that you consider the first phase of your real estate investing career working on how much you can save.I'll bet you do really well.

I'm willing to bet Mr.

When the betting is one sided, the odds change to attract the bets on the other side.  

Once you leave town, all bets are off IMO.

No different than betting on a football game. 

Unless, you choose certain blocks and you have to stay in your OC property for one year every time you use them.The realtor angle is probably my best bet. 

Until then your best bet nationally is the Corelogic products.

Best bet may be to sell and take the proceeds and go find a better rental property.
