1 You start an LLC.  2 Fund the LLC with the money you need for earnest money.3 The offer is made by the LLC, with you as the representative member of the LLC4 - If the offer is accepted, you sell the LLC for your assignment fee plus the earnest money you put up5 - The LLC closes on the property with the new owner of the LLC as the new rep6 - You get your assignment fee from the sale of the LLC7 - You are no longer affiliated with the LLC8 - There is no paper trail to your assignment fee that is visible to the seller.
