Thanks Beau! I appreciate the response.

Hey Bigger Pockets family,

can anyone recommend a title company that does double closing in the Round Rock or Georgetown area? Thanks in advance! 

Hey Daniel thanks for responding. My role would be to get the closing documents through title and sign on behalf of her company, since she can't get away from work. I'm not a licensed real estate agent yet, just working through the required curriculum right now. 

Hi Bigger Pockets community! I am an aspiring real estate agent and investor, currently taking classes to get my license in Texas. I was recently approached by an old friend to help with her wholesaling business since she's caught up with a traditional 9-5. She's offering 40% of any assignment fee. Seems like a great way to make money while I'm studying to earn my license. My only hangup is this, a few RE agent mentors I have, have advised me to stay away from wholesaling and wholesalers. Since, the business goes against an agent's fiduciary duties. Should I be concerned since I hope to be an agent in the next few months? I don't want to shoot myself in the foot and earn a bad reputation before I even begin. Or, is this a great opportunity for me to meet investors and supplement some income while I'm at it? Thanks in advance!

That’s so good to hear. I was afraid I was going to have to choose between sales and investing.

@Greg H.

That’s so reassuring to hear. Thanks for chiming in. I was starting to fear that I would have to pick one or the other.

@Abel Curiel

Thanks Abel! I definitely knew that I would have to disclose the fact that I was an agent. They just made it sound like I was putting myself at risk by purchasing properties for my own investments.

Funny you say that, I’d trade places with you now for a slice of New York pizza.

I have been considering getting my Texas real estate license for a few months now. Unfortunately, I keep hearing that it’s dangerous to do so if I intend to also invest in Texas. I have been warned by at least two people now that I could be sued since I would be considered an expert. Has anyone also heard this before?
