Are there any closing attorneys in the Atlanta area that offer transactional funding for double closings?

Also the reason my rent does not double when I switch to conventional loan (me fully renting out units) is I have a roommate in my unit contributing to rent plus the other unit paying rent.

Yesterday I thought I found a property but when we called the agent they already had 46 offers and the property was going to sell for nearly double what they asked! 

If he’s doing a double close or using transactional funding then your commission would be paid by the wholesaler.I go into every property knowing it’s going to take me around 9% to sell it.

If the purchase agreement says you can assign or doesn't specifically say you can't, then you can.Because of excise transfer taxes, nobody double closes.

@Nita Martin I agree with everything above: you definitely need to dial in your rehab estimate (and then double it for unexpected issues that are bound to crawl out from under the ancient floorboards).

As an example:  If you started with 1 penny, and doubled the previous day's total every day for 30 days, i.e...day 1 = 2, day 2 = 4, and so on...), how much money would you have at the end of 30 days?
