however i was wondering how exactly the "assigning" process would go .. i know alot of lending institutions dont do assignment contracts so in most cases id have to speak with my investor before hand and ask for a "finders fee"being that im conducting myself as an investment solutions llc

Before making the investment, I conducted my due diligence, discovering interesting figures:CAP Rate: 4.144%Asset Value: $213,898.00Profit Per Unit: $184.65Year 1 Cash ROI: 44.33%Year 1 Total ROI: 62.68%Year 1 Total Cash Flow: $8,863.00Expenses: 39.38% Price Per SqFt: $55.34These numbers demonstrate passive income, supplementing my full-time salary and allowing me to save for a future down payment or assist in a real estate venture.

Keeping that in mind and the fact that I don't even know what the BP fees are since I have never looked them up, I can't see me paying to provide comments and advice.However, I think that what ever the fees might be to make connections here and do conduct business through BP would be money very well spent.

Are you going to conduct a double close?

Although "foreclosure re-conveyance" schemes can be beneficial and ethically conducted in some circumstances, many times the practice relies on fraud and egregious or unmeetable terms.[1]I guess the individual's credit is poor and he does not have a lot of money coming in or else he'd refinance or sell outright.

You should do a Google search of how you county conducts such auctions.

I conducted the open house, blasted it on Facebook, showed the house, did all of the negotiating, etc.

In light of this, I have a question for this select and targeted audience...In an idealized world, if you were to buy a newly renovated small apartment building 8-16 Units in Holyoke, MA, would you want to buy without tenants so you can conduct your own due diligence, or with tenants and a proven rental history?

When you do find a prospective Facility, you're going to want to conduct a 3-Mile market Study & Competition Analysis.  3 Miles (5 if it's rural) because that is typically the maximum distance folks are willing to travel to store their treasures.I'm sure you did the math, which means that there are A LOT of 3-mile markets in a 3-hour drive radius from your hometown.After working that strategy for awhile you determine that you are truly in a bad market, then I'd go about looking for another state. 

What do you all use for conducting market research, aside from Bigger Pockets of course :)
