business
I, like many others, am new to REI. I also have a copious amount of questions.
1. do I need to start a business in order to wholesale real estate? why/why not?
2. what is the process from beginning to end? do I have a lawyer write up documents, find a seller and a buyer, and then how does the closing happen?
3. What am I allowed and not allowed to do since I do not have a real estate license. I do NOT want to go to prison.
4. how do I create a buyers list without anything to sell?
5. how do I create a sellers list?
Thank you so much for any advice you give!
P.S. I don't really know anyone who invests in real estate, and am seeking to find a mentor.
