I'm planning to move cross-country soon (2000+ miles) and plan on renting out my current condo.

We are looking to reinstate local meetups soon, so I look forward to crossing paths then!

Cross reference your findings with other services like rentometer.

On the other hand there is a large national bank that is out of state that has great rates, low fees but again, seems like it comes down to trust and reputation in the eyes of the agent who see the loan officer as risky to their transaction. 

You will have two escrows, two closing, and two sets of closing costs in this method and you will also need to bring funds to the table to close the transaction between you and seller.More importantly, assignments as a means to wholesale are typically executed illegally as they violate CA DRE laws for brokering without a license so I strongly suggest that you look into the legalities of your wholesale structure before you proceed. 

None of that has ever crossed my mind.  

Minimum transactions?

I like the idea of cash offer / no hassle transaction but want to understand if it comes with a cost later.

I recommend wearing bright colors, smile, keep your distance from the door and don't cross or put your hand behind your back.

I am slightly concerned that I will not be taken seriously in real estate transactions due to my age (19), but I am ready to take action regardless.
