Assignment of Contract vs. Consulting Agreement

Anthony Ogletree

Can someone tell me what is the difference between an assignment of contract and a consulting agreement as it relates to wholesaling. I have a potential deal lined up and it was my understanding that I was to just assign the options contract between me (the wholesaler) and the seller to an investor. Now I'm being told that I need to do a consulting agreement between me and the investor. HELP!

In most states you need a realestate license to earn a consulting fee. Stick to assigning contracts.
