I did find verbiage but from another jurisdiction "Unavailable for rent means a unit whose owner has filed with the code official a statement signed under penalty of perjury that such unit is not offered or available for rent as a rental unit and that prior to offering or making the unit available as a rental unit, the owner will apply for a Residential Rental Business License and comply with any applicable administrative regulations adopted pursuant to this chapter...."

@Jared W Smith is an licensed architect.

The Vanderbilts who were as wealthy as the Rockefellers at the time did not use this strategy and eventually their net worth evaporated due to many things.Unless you have a license to sell life insurance and know how to structure the policy for the client's goals, you shouldn't be knocking products that can and do benefit MANY people -  especially those who have maxed out other tax deferred accounts.By the way fees are paid over the life of the policy, not all up front.

It doesn't take much to get a lender license a lot of these loan officers are complete idiots. 

A lot of people try to manage property without a license, but since these folks defeated the first eviction they may have legal assistance.

In addition I would add to make sure the management company hires LICENSED property managers.

Before the purchase we take photos and videos, we have a licensed inspector check the property and provide all of the info to the owners.

There are plenty of licensed brokers who specialize in off-market product, so they are arguably wholesalers, but they have the reputation and backing of the shop they have their license at.

So far I've discovered that we will need to acquire multiple permits and an STR license in order to legally list our property as an STR in the Baraboo, WI area.

@Eric Fichera Buy A/B  located properties, keep up with all local permitting & licensing, use a well drafted and fair lease, don’t unreasonably withhold deposits and be a responsive landlord or hire a responsive PM and you won’t have anything to worry about.
