Wholesaling with a real estate license

[Mike Ewing]

Hello Everyone,

I am just getting into REI and have had my own home remodeling business for the past 10 years. Originally the thought was to flip houses, I have 1 investor looking to invest 120,000. With the rehab knowledge it made sense to make additional money while putting our own style in a house. During my research, I found the BP site and have been hooked ever since. Its opened my eyes to so many options to invest in real estate and one I'm interested in is wholesaling. Wholesaling makes sense to me because I'm learning if I dont start with the right deal then we are started behind the eight ball. Why not make it my goal to find these properties, flip the ones that fit for me and wholesale the others to investors. Ive been looking at houses with an agent I'm learning that she is not quite finding what we are looking for. I know its tough to find the right deal on the MLS, especially when I don't get to things first. With that said been thinking about getting my RE license so I have access to certain opportunities but my question is does this cause any conflict with the wholesaling side of things or could it be a benefit (different options for a seller)?
