Quick comment.

@Martin Scherer  Thanks for your comments. 

Since I didn't see what your investment plan has been or might be with them involved it is hard to comment on a better way to structure this.  

You seem to have a grasp on flip profits and taxes, but a minimal understanding of conveyances and liens, interesting combination of knowledge, nothing wrong with that.My comments assume this property is in CA?  

I understand that the contracts or agreements contain a clause indicating that each party has had a chance to confer with counsel before signing the agreements, but it would seem to me that disclosure of such facts should be done upfront and in the agreements -- can anyone comment?

I pick up information so much faster when its being shown to me in real life, not just reading about it on the internet.If you made it all the way down to the end of this ridiculously long newbie post, then you might be as crazy and addicted to this site as I am. please take the time to comment and connect.  

There have been a lot of positive comments about doing it that way.

Of Course, his detailed analysis and comments were on par with other roofers who visited this property.

Matt, your comments/questions expanded on what I was trying to ask, so thanks for keeping this going and helping to flesh it out. 

.- Then you will pay part of your assignment fee to the realtor, according with your agreement (30% of 5,000$ = 1,500$ if you found the investor or 70% of 5,000 = 3,500$ if the realtor find the investor) There can be an issue - Probably the investor has his own Realtor to handle his purchases, in that case you will need to figure out something mutually agreed with your Realtor, because he and his Brokerage will not get his split of the commission from the listing agent at contract closingAnyone has a comment about this?
