If it was just the State AG - they probably would give you a slap on the wrist and demand that you cease wholesaling. The fact that the guy took a two pronged approach (Civil and Criminal) shown that he was really trying to stick it to ya.

There are many wholesalers in my part of NC. Most conduct themselves in a professional manner - which is **PROBABLY** why they are able to continue operating (i.e. they don't get reported).

That said - the NCREC definition of practicing real estate without a license is VERY broad. I don't see how anyone in my neck of the woods would be surprised to find out that wholesaling isn't legal. I know there are some other approaches that may be considered legal (such as funding,closing and immediately reselling) - but most of the wholesalers I know simply assign the contract and collect their assignment fee.

@A Schwartz - you obviously don’t know what you are talking about with regards to Fayetteville. Yes - there are areas that are in flood zones, but the vast majority of Fayetteville is not in a flood zone. You are missing out on a great cash flow market by writing off Fayetteville.

Im looking to place a cell tower on my property in Tucson AZ. Now does anyone know the pros and cons to it? Also what about whats a ballpark average lease going rate.  Does anybody have a good podcast youtube and or web blog link?  I got a tower report and received a list of about 50 companies and just now starting to contact companies and they are asking whats my price per sqft.  How would I calculate that for a tower?

 Good luck - cell phone providers get thousands and thousands of people asking them to put up cell towers. They have consultants that seek out the best locations/properties for new towers.

The question is, why are the land costs so low? I'd be concerned that there's something there that you aren't seeing, either with zoning, some type of environmental issue, soils issue, or location. If none of those are a problem that's an incredible buy. 

You don't list a city, so it's hard to really say if it's a good deal or not. 

$33k for a lot sounds crazy high to me - it all depends on what market you are in.

@Matthew B. - as others have aptly mentioned - this is a regional thing. Most million dollar homes in Southern CA have some form of texture/knock down. In NC even cheap homes have smooth walls and ceilings. Unless it’s popcorn ceilings - nobody cares.
