Hey William, Was just messing around on my Podio to see if I couldn't figure it out... All I see is Clone/duplicate and it keeps it within the app it's already in.. from what I've read on podio forums, many people have requested this and you have to integrate 3rd party software.
Let me know if you end up finding a solution

No SW FL has not been impacted.
I've heard buyers (single purchase buyers & not investors) maybe 1 in 3 bring up the election for being a reason they want to wait until beginning of the year. I don't see any impact on the ELECTIONS changing the strength of the real estate market right now.

Thanks for response Roy. That's what I was thinking, was just looking for any other possibilities. Looks like property has been same owner for 70+ years so maybe they let a relative take over or something.
The assignee isn't a lender

Hello BP!
Today I was doing my Evictions Research for some mailers and came across a Plaintiff (typically the Property Manager or Owner) who had a different name than the Appraiser site. My next step when seeing that is to look at recent sales and see if anything is notated since sometimes there is a month or two delay. Then I started reading further into the Evictions Complaint and noticed this -
"Plaintiff was assigned rental agreement on 9/21/2016 and is the authorized agent for the owner of real property address.... yada yada"
My only question is what type of transaction is happening with the owner that this would be happening?
I can only think of them hiring a management person/company... Thanks!

So, just wanted to share this 'deal finding' story:
I heard on a podcast recently that one of the guys finds many of his deals by calling numbers on the 'for rent' signs when he passes them. Landlords are his sellers. So, I tried this when I got home yesterday. The house across the street from my home was for rent.
I called the number and said, "Hi, my name is Kenny. I am an investor in the area, and I am was interested in buying this property. Would that be something you would be interested in?"
The answer? "Yes."
The landlord said, "I've rented this for years, and I'm close to retirement. I've considered selling it many times." So we set up to meet this Saturday.
It works. This may or may not end up being a great deal - it depends on his expectations, and my negotiations skills. But it definitely works.
Next week, I'm going to try "driving for dollars" in the Petersburg area. I'm going to get a list of strong off-market properties and generate some leads. It's fun - I'm hoping this kind of work will help generate some wholesaling interest, or perhaps even a little bit of development partnerships.
Who knows - all I can say is that I've never been so happy to have a 45 minute commute to work. It's a perfect reason for me to digest one BiggerPockets podcast every day! haha
Has anyone else had success with the rental-seller / driving for dollars strategy?

What came of this meeting Ken?

@Chris Mason and @Account Closed
I could tell how excited my friend was when I just asked him. The response was a, "yes", but I might strangle you.
Thanks for advice.

Alright so I've found a rental property that I'd like to purchase. I've had my eyes on it for awhile and keep running the numbers and keep getting drawn to this property. I've started my career in Real Estate and have now wholesaled 3 properties and went through closing on one then relisting immediately so let's call it 4 wholesale deals. 1 of my 2016 goals was also to purchase my first Rental.
I can pickup the property for around $70k. Needs a roof ($7k), flooring in 1 room, fence and a few other minor fixes. I'm estimating $10k with the roof. After roof is fixed property should appraise for $100k minimum and that's VERY conservative. Going on low side of comps it's around $115k.
I'm going to be working with Caliber who will let me put 15% down for the purchase. The seller isn't going to fix the roof per the agent. So what is the easiest method to get this done with the least out of pocket after securing a loan?
I have the ability to come out of pocket to cover downpayment and repairs. Is a HML then refinance the route to take?
Thanks!

Just to update the thread and close it out. The title company a larger title company too, said they had never done an assignment before and they did correct the HUD to show the Assignment fees correctly to the buyers side and the DOC stamps were calculated on the original sales price!
Thanks @Wayne Brooks
