The seller has just received a contract offer from a buyer who used a Florida Realtors/Florida Bar „AS IS“ residential contract for sale and purchase, and noted that the buyer`s offer included a provision in section 7, Assignability, that would allow the buyer to assign the contract. When applying these concepts to the wording of the FR/Bar contract, a representative of the buyer must ask the buyer whether he intends to assign his interests in the contract to another party. If so, does the buyer wish to remain liable under the contract if the assignee fails to perform the service? I`m sure it`s legal to wholesale in Florida if you check out one of Chris Bruce`s programs, he sells wholesale in Tampa, Florida and has had a lot of success, good luck and welcome to the real estate investment game! I`ve been reading a lot about wholesale lately, and it seems like a great way to build up capital if you can hurry up. What concerns me is the legality of wholesale in Florida to cash buyers by assigning them contracts for the transactions I find. Does anyone have any previous experiences that they would be willing to share? Should I be a broker to do such business? If I were to be a broker, could I use one I know anyway and bring the transaction with a cash buyer to him to make everything legal? I just want to make sure I`m doing things right before I even do anything, thank you guys. An assignment of contractual rights allows a contractually obligated person to assign the contractual rights to another person. In Florida, this is a common real estate practice, especially when it comes to property sales before foreclosure. The landowner transfers the rights to an investor. The investor then closes these rights or transfers them to a second investor. Finally, understand that this article covers the contractual part of transferability. Assuming the parties agree that the contract is transferable, a buyer who wishes to assign the contract later must always sign a separate legal document that transfers its rights/interests in the contract to the assignee, also known as a „new buyer“. The next step is compensation.

The assignor may want the assignee to follow in its footsteps and assume all its contractual obligations and rights, thereby releasing the original buyer from any further liability under the contract. This means that if a buyer assigns the contract, that buyer will be substantially different from the transaction, with the assignee assuming all other obligations currently included in the contract. This also means that if the assignee does not comply with the contract, the Seller`s remedy is directed exclusively against the assignee and not against the first buyer. If the assignor fails to comply with its obligations, the seller may claim that the purchase contract has been breached (which allows the seller to withhold the buyer`s instalments and seek other remedies set out in the contract). The state basically says: If you have legal title or fair title, you can advertise ownership, with the exception of a licensee. So your boyfriend has a house under contract. You want to charge a 2K allowance fee and promote the house. Crime. Let`s say you have the house under contract.

They never paid anything in return, but they signed a contract. They announce the house. Crime. Let`s say you put $100 on a $200,000 house and advertise it. The state says: This is Bulloney, $100 is not a valuable consideration for a 200K house. Let`s say you put 5K on a 100K house after depositing the money, and then you advertise for the house. The state, in its wisdom, would say that it is a just title or interest, and give you its blessing. Bottom Line: Linking real estate and not putting it at risk a bit, and then promoting it is a crime in Florida.

They also disapprove of popular BS contracts advertised in BP`s „wholesale forums“ where they use 30 to 60 inspection periods, fake partners and all the garbage. In my experience, most „wholesalers“ push for overpriced homes and will tell everyone anything to make money. Recently, I had a guy who called me with a „deal.“ He tried to charge a fee of $27,000 for a property for which he had no contract (no fair title). It turned out that I had seen the house a few days before for much less money Other guys are trying to sell properties listed in MLS with huge margins Guess what, sooner or later you put enough hooks in the water, you catch a fish! Therefore, the seller is not responsible for determining who the assignee is to complete the transaction. All the seller has to do is fulfill the conditions of the purchase contract. It is up to the buyer and his authorized representative to establish the details of the realization of the closing table at the time and date specified in the purchase contract. See, Pierce & Stevenson v. Jones, 109 Fla. 517, 147 Sun.

842, 88 A.L.R. 192 (1933). The Buyer must have in writing that the Seller releases the Buyer from its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and that the Buyer`s wholly-owned company is responsible for the Buyer to be effectively compensated. See Greater New York Corp. v. Cenvill Miami Beach Corp., 620 So. 2d 1068 (Fla.3d DCA 1993). That`s exactly the analogy I wanted to post.

Radical statements of „wholesale is legal“ without prefixing them with HOW TO DO IT LEGAL can leave the wrong impression. Is it legal? Yes, well done. Is it a crime? Yes, badly done. If you want to act as a „wholesaler“, you really have to learn how to do it legally. Listing a property in which you have no reasonable interest is a crime. If YOU have a fair interest and another person decides to promote it, that third person commits a crime. DBPR is not here to hang anyone. Do you have any questions? Contact them. For some buyers who enter into an assignment, the seller may allow the buyer to be exempted from the obligations set out in the purchase agreement. If this is not the case, the buyer remains responsible under the real estate contract for fulfilling the obligations agreed at the time of the first signing of the contract.

For many years, it has been generally accepted in Florida law that a land purchase contract can be awarded. Sometimes this is easy to determine because either the section for the assignment is examined, or the language of the contract identifies the buyer as a „buyer and/or assignee“ when describing the person buying the property. Each of these options warns a seller that they may see a different face at the finishing table. waltman`@Mike, „low chances“ of getting into trouble can be a crime. Our local REIA just had an investigator with DBPR talking about unauthorized activities. Bottom line: You need a reasonable interest in a property to market it. What does Fair Interest mean? Depends on the examiner. However, they said the $100 bond for a $200,000 lot would likely not meet their needs.

They also explained that contracts that are so fake and full of escape clauses will usually not fly as well. All you need is a complaint that has been filed stating that you are operating as an unlicensed broker to be charged with a crime. We have here a local person who is facing 3 criminal charges. Maybe they thought it was a small chance, but having 3 criminal complaints is nothing to ignore. It is best to contact DBPR and make sure that you comply with the law. It is difficult to make a living behind bars and it is difficult to obtain thousands of legal fees for illegal operations. Get help, educate yourself, and then make money WITHOUT the likelihood of legal problems. The first buyer/assignor may need their lawyer to help them create this document that covers their contract. In other words, paragraph 7 deals only with whether or not the seller and the first buyer agree that the first buyer may or may not assign the contract. A separate assignment document would cover the agreement between the assignor and the assignee. What some buyers and sellers may not realize is that the parties may change after the contract is signed (most standard housing contracts for buying and selling real estate in Florida include a provision regarding the buyer`s right to assign the contract).
