[size=18][/size]In my opinion and I am not an attorney Assigning a contract is alright because you are transfering your rights to purchase for a fee.

The commission I pay is also credited to me as a portion of the final sales price when I buy it at the end of the lease.

thanks beachbum, that is more along the lines of what I was thinking.to make matters worse, during our final rental month - October the landlord also mowed twice.

Lease options are great because you can get some money down that is taken off their final purchase price, plus we usually charge full appraisal for the purchase price.

I have been looking around Bigger Pockets now for a couple months... and have finally decided to join in.

On the side though I'd like to venture into small/medium size business.

I know I developed mine from several classes and then working with some fellow investors to finalize the ones I use now.

Hello Carmie-[size=24]And welcome to Biggerpockets!

im trying to become more acquainted with the foreclosure market and have been doing some research on certain foreclosures here in my area but i am unable to make it to the auctions to see the final selling price and to see if the original lender was the one who purchased the property becuase i work monday through friday.
