Which do title companies prefer to do, and assignment closing or a double closing? Is one more effective or quicker than the other?

During the closing of an assignment contract are all three parties (seller, wholesaler and the end buyer)at the table at the same time? I believe that during a double closing all three are at the settlement but not in the same room. Is it correct that in the double closing, the contract between the wholesaler and the end buyer is completed first and the closing with the seller? Who is in the second closing with the seller, the wholesaler or the end buyer?

Thanks.

It has been suggested to me that I use interns to delegate some of my work load. Is anyone using interns? If so, what is the process of obtaining them? I understand that initially they work for free but later you can/should pay them a fee. What type of tasks do you assign to them? How many hours are they expected to work? How does it work out if you work from your home?

Also, has anyone used virtual assistants?

Thanks.

Zillow Buys Trulia for $3.5 Billion
The real estate agent community is coming unglued with this announcement. They view it as another threat to their existence and the local MLS system. It really isn’t, as neither of these sites have direct access to MLS data, so the real estate community will still have the most accurate and up-to-date listing data out there.

Altos Says Ignore the Naysayers – Housing to Boom in 2015

She is not a professional bird-dog, or involved in real-estate in any way, but has referred power-team members to me to help me out.

The latest referral is an investor-friendly realtor.

I'd like to propose to give my friend a finder's fee for all deals closed, despite the fact we're friends, as a thank-you to her.

This market is Oklahoma City area, if any investors know that area. But all feedback welcome and appreciated.

Thanks.

Strength and Weakness is something we all have and as we are taught is to.....

strengthen our strengths and have others take care of our weakness when it comes to Real Estate Investing

But how honestly can we evaluate each?

How have you observed such?

Tonight I return to work.... I know of a few but I want an objective opinion so I will ask my supervisors

How have my fellow DGer's notice theirs ?

How have you improved since noticing/being told?

There is a group of significant tax law changes taking effect or already in place from recent rulings. They aren’t all related to investments, but we all have more things going on than real estate investment. This is a quick overview, so check with your accountant if you see something that could apply to your financial situation.
1. No more bankruptcy exemption for inherited IRAs – The Supreme Court unanimously held that inherited IRAs do not qualify for a bankruptcy exemption. Creditors can now go after those funds because the court rules that the exemption is specifically for “retirement” funds, and that status disappears with death and inheritance.

Food for Investors

As I was reading, Think and grow Rich by N. Hill, this is perfect for infusing our Real Estate Investor spirit. In page 175-6 , I draw this excerpt:

WHAT IS YOUR "QQS" RATING?

I am a wholesaler in Washington County, MD and I have not had much success in getting a deal completed. When I pull the recent cash sales for my area it is very small; there does not seem to be a lot of cash buyers in my area.

Which has caused me to think perhaps it is time to move to another market? When trying to decide what virtual market to go into what are the main things I should focus on? Number of recent cash sales,sellers ? Should the distance from my current location be a factor ?

Is it best to remain in your “own back yard” Or try another market ?
