Contract or no contract???
Good day everyone,
I am finally going to get my feet wet in the real estate world. I have an investor that wants to invest in my area but lives in another state. He gave me his criteria and I told him that I would look around for him I guess birddog. So my question is if I find a property that meets his criteria should I go ahead and get it under contract (which I Know nothing about) or should I just give him the numbers and take pics for him, by the way I am not a Realtor. Any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!!

@Steve Vaughan thank you so much for your response. I think I may go with the bird-dog just until I gain a little more experience. The investor is my uncle so I'm sure we can work out something that is a win for everyone involved. @Charles Socci I am working on obtaining a license, I let my expire, but I think as long as I'm not representing anyone I am not breaking any laws but I will be sure to double check. Thanks so much.
If you market a property that you have under contract - you're not breaking any laws [in Indiana]. RE license is handy if you plan on making offers on the MLS.
If your uncle doesn't buy your deal, let me know.
