All make full disclosures - like ---"Our goal is to earn a reasonable profit -Our intention is to assign our contract within the terms of our agreementIf we do not assign our agreement this offer is subject to cancellationConsider offering a "Hybrid" in your offer - a hybrid is where you offer to give the seller more over your offered price if you make more - this always pleases the seller - it make the seller sort of a partner with you in the common goal to cash his property out.Find the high equity potential property, control it and the money will come - HML is OK for some, but if it is your intention to flip the property - make the seller your partner - liquidate the property as fast as you can and do it over and over again.As an auctioneer - I turn properties over nationwide using the auction method of marketing -  and "Power Prospecting" you might want to do the same - it works well when you understand the system and what you want to accomplish.  

Hey David, our intention isn't to create a secondary market but to give people who are exiting the industry a chance to continue profiting from their pipeline: This is why we are asking for an introduction.

If the company you are looking at, no matter how big, uses the TAR lease - it means they have no intentions on making improvements or customization anywhere - ever.

Not this year or last year, but the long term averages over the last 30+ years, certainly long enough time period to capture both up markets and down markets and being careful not to cherry pick your start or end dates to be an up or down market.If after underwriting with those averages and other reasonable projections you still like the investment under nominal scenarios, then you need to stress test your investment to make sure that under any bad (but still somewhat reasonable) circumstance you have the intent and ability to hold onto this property, or at the very lease have multiple exit strategies to sell at profit if you need or choose to.

But this was not intentional.  

I would be on the same page with the seller of what his intentions are.you do not need an attorney to get assignment set up, but will need an attorney or title company to close the deal correctly.if you need more help just PM me.....Peter

I found my Partner by being intentional on finding one, I didn't wait for someone to try and find me.

I understand that doesn't cover you for an "intentional act" (and even unintentional acts can be ruled that way in a lawsuit).

So act like a buyer, and give the seller options: all cash, some cash now, all equity in a note, lease purchase, etc.See the home seller in person, walk through the house, ask good questions, build rapport, write up a letter of intent of your offer(s)That is your core job: listening to sellers and creating multiple cash and terms offers.

Owner occupied loans require you to have the intent of staying at least 1 year, which we did.
