Hello Doug, I am not a real estate attorney nor is this legal advice.Unless someone's state has specific laws banning contract assignments you should be fine doing the following.  

Also, which choice is better for you highly depends on what your real estate goals are and the experience level & skillset of the specific agent.Traditional agent and Redfin Agent could essentially be the same thing in many cases.

@Loren Souers I'd have to run the specific scenarios with the rates and fees, but if you're OK with paying the higher closing costs, the Mortgage 1 deal looks good, particularly if you focus on CoC returns.

But before I even get into identifying specific properties, I need to first get smarter about some of the other things I put in my post. 

That was the only production schedule I was given even though I specifically earmarked the buildings I was purchasing in the project.

So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

NYC apartments will have a different car requirement from Orlando, but he used that methodology in this specific small city and was an investor from the 1980s-2000s, so a lot has changed, but I believe there is still some truth to it.

Short Picture: Instead of dumping 300K out of a brokerage account all at once, how about you find another investment you are comfortable with, multifamily specifically, and only withdraw the needed funds for the down payment on it from your brokerage account. 

If I ever have specific questions, I look through google and then use the BP forums as another source.

Specifically that are not in non disclosure states.
