You're just going to need to find a couple of folks on the ground that you trust.

I work in WA, not IL.Sounds like similar facts - you need to be licensed if you are going to manage other folks' property.Here, you need to hang your license under a managing broker until you can get your managing brokers license, as brokers can't touch money and do a few other things legally.If it's like WA, you will have to hang your license under a managing broker at a brokerage, and coordinate deposits, contracts, fees with them.If that is the case, ask some brokerages that will allow you to hang your license under them for minimal fees in order to be compliant.

If you talk to someone like the folks at Wren Insurance Agency (from what I read in the Wall Street Journal), you’ll find they’ve been adapting to the shifting market conditions with some interesting coverage options.

It's easy to obtain, costs very little, and doesn't require extra, on-going effort to maintain.

Quote from @Devin James: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: for us we do very little marketing we rely on MLS what we do to compete is spend an extra 10k or so per house with upgrades other builders simply wont do..

Luckily I had extra cash and I will close.

Most inquiries are from folks looking to get into the takeout business. 

If you're only doing one off flips here and there this won't work though as you'd be paying extra interest that you don't need to. 

I work with a bunch of out of state folks here in the ATL metro as their trusted boots on the ground.
