Investments and Finance

An assignment contract lets a buyer transfer their rights in a real estate deal to another buyer for an agreed fee or profit.

The 4 main real estate contracts are purchase agreements, lease agreements, assignment contracts, and power of attorney documents.

Start investing in real estate by setting a budget, choosing a property type, getting financing, and working with a trusted agent or advisor.

Iowa's property taxes are higher than the national average and vary by county. They are based on the value of land and buildings and help fund local services like schools and public safety. Taxes are paid in two installments each year.
