The source we use for this is actually an Equipment Lease/loan scenario where we get the equipment and a large cash loan...kind of like a rebate, but the cash part is very large.  

With an assignment of contract, you are not a party to the actual closing.

If you want to buy from banks, expect to be required to buy pools of notes.If you're trying to buying a soecific note on a particular property, about the only opportunity that I've seen is from private party note holders.  

LLCs--naming an unrelated party  as a resident agent--does this for me. 

You, a non-licensed third party, can not 'help' the Seller get a mortgage.  

Thanks for the input Jeremy'I have always liked LO as a valid strategy ,with a caveat,,,As long as all parties get what they want at the end of the road,,,,Having said that,as easy as the concept is,I am finding LO a tough little nut to crackMaking "the moon and the stars and the solar system" line up before I can put the deal together,,,Lots of moving parts to say the least,,,I dont need to be haunted by a pissed off seller or tenant,,in my station of life,,[Im no spring chicken,,,you wont see me in "The Cage" at a WWF bloodbath fist fight,,sorry guys,,not todayHonestly JeremyThanks for the good adviceDD

Fez, I gotta tell ya, make sure both parties sign off that it is cool for you to do whatever you are doing.

I'm not even sure "fight it out" is right, insofar as it implies there is an equal need for the parties to accommodate one another.  

Divorce usually costs both parties in the end.

It seemed to me he was creating docs not as a principal but as an unlicensed third party between the homeowner and Diversified Inc.
