@Ryan EllisI'm curious to know where you learned thisWholesaling lease options or lease option assignments should be done on an option release system First step is you enter into a lease an option with the seller with a letter of intent to sell your interest in the paperwork (or if an agent enter into a listing agreement for lease option)Instead of assigning the deal, you have the tenant buyer place 3% of value of the property in escrow made payable to a title co.You have the seller and the tenant buyer sign off that it's agreed that the 3% is a option release paid to youA new lease and option is created between the seller and tenant buyer (with no large option consideration)You could discount the house value by 3%Use a collection co to take rent and pay underlying note and mortgageHave tenant buyer go to bank and save 3% for downpaymentI would be licensed in FL as you are brokering.
