Anton, this is why you are on Bigger Pockets!

Martin,I'm new to Bigger Pockets, but not new to the RE world...so hello!

This seems to be a bigger dip than most other markets experienced.

Don't remember how I found bigger pockets but I am glad I did seems like a great site and a true community of helping one another.

Adding an additional fee in there (your assignment fee) would necessitate a bigger spread on the deal, which would compromise your buyer's position and offer.

And I do know of people in TN who are doing this or something very similar.Anyway, in my mind the bigger issue is this: When you sign somebody up to lease-option their house to you, and then you go out and sell or assign your rights to that contract to someone else, well you're probably making some spread on the option consideration and/or the monthly payments.

A good way to begin is to read the Bigger Pockets Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Real Estate Investing as Josh and Brandon did a great job with it.

My goal is to have a certain amout of homes paid free and clear before starting to take on bigger projects with bigger loans.
