@Lauren Christensen Westmore Construction is who I have worked with in the past. Great local company! Talk to Wyatt

@Account Closed I don't have anything ground breaking to add but I got married in 2010 and lived in Narvik for over a year before moving back to the US with my wife through a spouse visa. Even that was a pain to deal with (not trying to discourage you). If you are an electrician your best route may be to try and gain employment through a company here in the US and have them sponsor you.

Heads up: We do operate on a 120 volt of AC power instead of 220 of DC, not a big deal but there could be a slight learning curve. You are young and could catch on fast enough!

Hope all goes well and I wish you the best of luck!!

If I understand correctly, to  wholesale properties you need a RE license, funds to actually buy the property, and a seller who is motivated to sell for any reason other than make the most amount of money possible. If not all of the above criteria is meet, it’s not a crime but it is unethical and unprofessional. Did I miss anything?

@Jason D. great point!!

@Jason D. absolutely agree with you that you can not represent a sellers interest who's goal is to sell for the most money possible with an assignable contract (that is most likely under market value.) In this situation, a wholesale deal is not an option for the "wholesaler" who has a RE license, BUT listing it on the MLS or referring to a listing agent to get the highest price would/should be.

The situations where you would assign a contract/wholesale is when the sellers needs are NOT highest price but all of the benefits wholesaling provides (fast closing, closing on a specific day, cash, no inspection contingency, etc. etc.)

Hopefully I answered your question...

I have read through a lot of forum post about the topic of wholesaling (the latest by and it seems like the argument of wholesaling being legal/illegal could be squashed once and for all by getting your RE license.

With your RE license, you are required to hold your clients interest above your own by law. So if your client's interest is selling their property quickly and you can satisfy that interest with a cash buyer, regardless of the price, I don't see how that could be looked at as unethical.

On the other side of the coin, if your clients interest is to get the most money from the of their property as they can (as a licensed RE agent with your clients interest before your own) most likely it would be listed on the MLS.

I am curious to here what others here have to say!! Especially you 

Congratulations @Elliot Terekhin on your purchase!! What are you currently getting for rent in downtown?

Maybe Paris Shewey could help you out

Mikaela Hall I am a contractor in Battle Ground and we deal with Clark County almost on a daily basis. Have not did what you are planning to do but A bit of advice I can give you is have all of your information/specifics ironed out BEFORE you go to the county. They can be a pain to deal with sometimes and if they find a mistake on your paperwork they give it back without looking over the rest of it. Seem kind of weird to me since they are just creating more work for themselves. This can cause your schedule to be blow to pieces as well. We just grit our teeth, smile and try to do as they ask. I wish you the best luck with your endeavors and let me know if I can help in any way.

Had a great time! It was awesome meeting all of you!!
