Real Estate Agents and Assignments

Yes, you can do assignments with a real estate agent. They will most likely want a proof of funds, but you can get that at theses sites
http://insiderscash.com/
http://besttransactionfunding.com/
You will need earnest money when the offer is accepted, and that is all the money you would need.
A lot of students do assignments wtih agents on a regular basis. As long as you have a great agent you can do assignments any time.

eroberts gave you links to great places to get Proof of funds for free & as much as you need.

In order to make a contract legally binding as a buyer you do need to put some sort a value into the agreement which is going to be Earnest Money.
Understand everything is negotiable, its all about what both parties agree to.
Ive been in plenty of purchase agreements where the earnest money was 1$ then again Ive been in some where the earnest was lots more.

And yes you can work with RE agents like eroberts answered for you.
When you are assigning a contract , nothing changes on that contract, and if you made a contract with your RE agent, it is in that contract that the agent is representing the buyer, when you assign you contract, that doesn't change, your agent is still representing the buyer & they are still getting paid their commission at closing. Make sense?

eroberts and haroldc I really appreciate the info.

I've been a broker for 36 years and have mostly specialized in representing buyers and investors. Remember that the buyer's broker gets paid his commission from the listing broker who gets paid by the seller as long as the property is listed. His commission does not effect the amount you can offer on the property and make your investor a profit because it does not come from your side of the transaction unless you are offering on a FSBO and then you will have to pay your broker or have them create a commission agreement with the seller. Either way the broker doesn't care if you are assigning the property or working with investors as partners in an LLC or buying with your own cash as long as you and your investors are serious buyers and close on the deal a majority of the time. You need to work with an agent that understands that several offers will be made before one is accepted but that each time there is an acceptance you will close fast with cash and then be ready to do another deal. That is an attractive arrangement for a long term thinking agent and his broker. Creating a relationship with an investor who does one deal after another can be the bread and butter for an agent, so don't feel that you are cutting him short just because he has to do a little extra work for you.

I am having a problem getting directly to the agents. I leave emails, and telephone number, but I am not getting a response.

Can anyone give me some ideas on creative ways to get agents to work with you as an investor?

Thank You

I'm new on here and it slow going to try to find buyers. I think that is what is slowing me up. I want to start getting more aggressive but I need to know in myself that I have the right answers when I approach these individuals on that list. If you have any ideas it would greatly help.

Thanks for the info on the proof of funding I need that if you have any more let me know. Thanks a bunch I love the DG Family

Hello everyone. I'm new to real estate investing and trying to understand the whole REO funding deal. I see that the Insider's Cash site mentions how to profit from flipping a property to an end buyer on day one. However, I see that it takes around one to two weeks for the company to process all paperwork you send them and send funds through escrow. Before all of that, you provide a proof of funds to the bank. Once you show the proof of funds to the bank and sign the purchase agreement, does this mean you must find a cash buyer before the IC provide the funds for your deal? Do you have your buyer sign a purchase agreement so that he must put his money in escrow before you are ready to close with the bank seller? I would just like to know how the one day back to back closings work with these funding companies. Thank you for any assistance you all can provide.
