How are you able to flip REOs if the bank wont allow you to assign it and how do you do it.

Don?t use a Bank to finance it? You basically need HML or private source that will ?advance? the acquisition cost and allow a simultaneous close if you are flipping or assigning your purchase to another investor/end buyer. The REO Bank doesn?t care as long as you have cash at closing.

If you close on it You own it, there would not be an assignment. So just sell it at point. A simultaneous close is where you pay off the underlying 1st and ?simultaneously? sell to another buyer without going on title. Title passes from the original seller (REO) to the rehabber with you receiving the difference between your purchase price and your selling price.

A double is when you buy it, title changes to you; you in turn sell it closing again to the end buyer, depending on how you set it up and how the financing is arranged. If your paying cash and your rehabber is paying you cash no problem. If either of you is relying on financing the ?Lender? may have an issue with title seasoning (back to square one). You need to have a creative lender involved unless it?s all cash. If you need help locating one let me know.
