Does getting a Real Estate License prevent wholesaling?

Any formal agreements you do, make sure the written language covers things like: preventing a  partner from leveraging their equity (and the property) on another property purchase outside the partnership, lawsuit protocol (i.e. if a partner becomes party to a lawsuit separate from property incident it triggers an immediate buyout or dissolution).  

My understanding is that new builds is strictly regulated if not prevented currently in LA.

They agree to things that a strong agent would prevent - like a house I have under contract for a seller (another BP'er), where I got the buyer to eliminate the home inspection contingency. 

You should also do REGULAR exterminations in each of your units, especially your quad, even if there are no issues at this time (we did it as preventive maintenance).

Try to come up with a fair way you both win in most situations and prevents one of you from hijacking it.

One additional question I have is of this scenerio with the taxes will also prevent us from purchasing a new home at our next duty station.

I have been quoted about $13,000 for 2 new 2 ton Trane systems , new duct work with 6 drops in one unit, and UV lights to line the ducts for mold prevention. 

If I do this, I will get a cage installed around the machines to prevent vandalism and theft.Do you all think this is a good idea?

Is there anything that would prevent us from being able to refinance out of the VA loan into a conventional if the appraisal supports our projected valuation of 20-25% more than what we purchased it for?
