§ 01 — Calculator

Assign it, or double close?

Your contract

Your contract price with the seller ($)

Option A: assign the contract

Assignment fee ($)

What the end buyer pays you to take over your contract.

Your title / escrow costs on the assignment ($)

Option B: double close

End buyer's purchase price ($)

Your double-close costs ($)

Your closing costs on both closings: title, escrow, recording, and any funding fees you pay to your own source of funds.

You net: assignment

—

Assignment fee − your title / escrow costs

You net: double close

—

Gross spread—

End buyer's price − your contract price − double-close costs

Which nets more

—

End buyer pays (assignment)—

End buyer pays (double close)—

Break-even double-close price—

Break-even = the end-buyer price where a double close nets the same as the assignment.

Arizona wholesale disclosure: In Arizona, a buyer who signs a purchase contract intending to assign it or resell before closing must tell the seller in writing that they hold only an equitable interest and may assign or resell (A.R.S. § 44-5101). See our Disclosures page, and ask your own attorney what applies to your deal.

Check every number on every deal, and talk to your own attorney, CPA and lender before you sign anything. Leverage Consulting LLC does not arrange or broker loans.

§ 01b — Assignment or double close?

The trade-offs, plainly.

Assignment: one closing and lower costs. Your fee shows on the settlement statement, and the end buyer steps into your contract with the seller.

Double close: two closings. You buy, then resell, often the same day. More cost and more paperwork, and you need funds for the first closing.

Either way: check that your contract allows it, that title and escrow will handle it, and that the seller got the written disclosure Arizona requires.

§ 02 — How the math works

Two ways to get paid.

Assignment net = assignment fee − your title / escrow costs

End buyer pays (assignment) = your contract price + assignment fee

Gross spread (double close) = end buyer's price − your contract price

Double-close net = gross spread − your double-close costs

Difference = assignment net − double-close net

Break-even price = contract price + double-close costs + assignment net
