David, come to 12929 E Sprague ave tomorrow night (Thurs. Aug. 17th) at 630pm. Team investpro is doing an introduction to Velocity Banking, how to pay your 30yr mortgage off in 7 to10 years, not bi weekly or anything else you've heard of. The way banks pay there bills! We're not taught this in school because it does not benefit the banks. I think its the answer to your question. Win/win for you!
Team Invest Pro is a local community of investors helping each other through education and the vast and varied experience of its members.
Tell them Gerrit Harner invited you.
If anyone else reading this post would like to attend your more than welcome. Just tell them at check in that i invited you.
We have something going on every Thursday night and usually an event or activity on Saturdays.

James, as you start connecting with contractors here in Spokane, make sure they are licensed, bonded and insured. Alot of investors have been having problems with the people they hire not actually having their paperwork in order and out and out lying about what they can and can't do. And make sure your contracts with them are complete. Watch out for Craigslist. Word of mouth referrals and references that you actually see (the completed work, Internet pics can be faked) and talk with the reference. I'm part of a large investing community here in Spokane, based around a common education, and a desire to help each other thrive, we are Teaminvestpro. If you'd like to learn more about our community and how we can help you in this adventure pm me. I'm also a member of NEXTGEN REI Club of Spokane, check us out.

hi Aaron,
Don't count out short sales, we have quite a few community members working with them. The trick is getting them before they are marketed as such.
Glad to see you are still working towards your goals.
As always, if there's anything I can do, or any questions, just call or pm me here or Facebook
Best in all your endevers.

hi Bryanna
Glad to see your still following your dream.
The title companies that are saying it's illegal are referring to the Dod Frank rules that were adopted after the crash, not many fully understand them, so they use a broad interpretation. Anyway on an assignment of contract they are not really involved. Your buyer will be the one closing. And a double close is exactly that two separate closings. First you close on the property, then you sell it to your buyer, a compleatly separate closing. You have to pay the closing costs twice. The only time that there is any special consideration by the title company is if you want to use your buyers money to close your purchase, this is known as a wet close, and not real common here. That is why the company's you've talked to seem confused. Sorry I can't recommend any for you as I've not needed to do a double close, and everything else has beenot handled through the Team Invest Pro community. You are always welcome to contact me if there is anything you have questions with.
Best of luck with all your endeavors.
