    Is the approved buyer paying cash or getting a mortgage? If they are getting a mortgage, you will have a hard time showing your assignment on the HUD1 settlement statement. Their lender will not like it.

    You will probabaly have to do a double close. Make sure that the buyer's lender does not have seasoning issues. It can not be FHA or many of the BC lenders.

    Very Simple.
    Collect your fee for the difference and assign you escrow. Have your wholesale buyer close in their name.

    Your wholesale buyer may not have the entire difference in cash to pay you for your fee. You can do a couple different things to get around this.
    #1- Get some cash up front and then
    carry back a second.
    #2- You can purchase the property
    and turn around and resell it
    immediately to your new buyer,
    hence a double closing.

    I would recommend assigning your escrow and seeing if you can get paid
    your wholesale fee. If that does not
    work, then just do your double closing.
