I have read through everything.However, I still feel like there is some type of value to using the monthly cash flow (not pulling any additional cash out of my pocket each month) to pay down the debt and thus build equity. 

Sometimes, the numbers just don't add up, and it's okay to feel bummed out about it.

@Kim Durst Potentially you could take the $10k, then have another $10k (or whatever amount you feel covers your cost if there are further issues) held in escrow.

@Madison Roberson you would get the Assignment contract through your network, but I can help, feel free to reach out.

Feel free to message me!

How would you feel in their shoes?

I would be happy to answer any loan related questions for you as well, so feel free to call or email me anytime. 

However I feel that I lack the knowledge to get started, if anyone has done this in my area I would love to hear your opinion if its profitable enough to be worth the time and trouble.
