Question by Eric Speight:

If I put in a contract on a house that I want to flip, and then assign the contract to another investor, am I in the clear? Meaning if the investor I assign it to totally responsible for the contract or will I be held liable if he/she decides to back out?

Answer By William Bronchick:

An assignment of contract does not relieve the assignor from liability unless the original seller expressly agrees. If you liability under the contract is limited to your earnest money, the seller would have little recourse anyway.
