I think I'm the only one that has mentioned bi-lateral and unilateral contracts and what requirements there are to assign such contracts.

Here are a few recommendations for you:Find and connect with other BP members that are in your area: http://www.biggerpockets.com/meetSet up keyword alerts to be notified of the topics that interest you: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alertsRead Beginner’s Guide: http://www.biggerpockets.com/real-estate-investingCheck out BP Podcasts: http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/category/podcast/If you wish to tag someone in the conversation on the forum, type @ followed by their name and then select the name of that person which should appear below the comments box.

You can also set key word alerts for items or areas of interest, like " multi-family" or "Oklahoma". 

I like QuestIRA.com as they were able to accept the blank assignment from the fund my Roth bought a note with, unlike other funds that want the note holder to assign it to you before they send the money.

If you haven't yet- be sure to setup some "Keyword Alerts" to get into conversation in your target area.Seeya around!

I am also looking to get $2500 assignment fee if I choose to assign the contract. 

I'm probably going to need someone as my "boots on the ground" to help with some of the various tasks, as I'll be wholesaling from out of state.My questions is: If my BOTG is not actually a "legal" partner (ie: not a part of my LLC or Corporation etc), but has their own LLC, how do I pay them and what paperwork would I need from them when I pay them a fee for their services following the successful assignment of a property (might be a 50% profit share, or just $1,000 etc)?

Once you have a buyer lined up for the property you execute an Assignment of Contract wherein you assign your interest in the Purchase and Sale Agreement to the new buyer for a specified assignment fee.

Also be sure to set up some keyword alerts "buffalo" "wholesaling" ect so you can focus on what interests you.
