To be perfectly frank, the typical wholesaler is no threat at all to the typical licensed broker.  

I bought the building amid actual threats of violence from the property manager who rented office space in the building.

Cash for keys is a good carrot,  legal threats of credit reporting and penalty fees can be a good stick.

I could walk away and sue for damages (a few thousand dollars) or negotiate with the threat to hold up any other sale.If I had huge damages such as had sold a property to purchase, etc. the attorney believed that I would get the lesser of the damages or the value of the non-disclosure ($60K).I ended up getting a $9K discount on the property ($750K to $741). 

I like the idea very much but concerned about the long term implications and possible threat from IRS...

Wholesalers are not a threat to Realtors as far as inventory goes. 

Through the threat of foreclosure, which in FL may wipe the entire value of the lot through FC costs and time (remember, it's not like someone may lose their house...) 

Now the fact that your not even the one buying the house, that can get you jail time, if the home owner finds out what your doing unless of course your open and honest from jump...Its a slippery slope thats not worth it..Beleive me i went through hell with my first list it was only 400 leads, and i had lawyers calling me, the attorney general left me a voicemail (that i saved by the way)....I had threats, i had someone try to meet up with me and do harm...Luckily it ended well and just went away after time, but all it takes it the one person who has nothing but time on their hands to not stop and go hard accusing you of everything your not supposed to do.....And now everything that @Hattie Dizmondsaid can be true, you might find someone...But here in CA you might end up being one of the first BP member we see on the Socal news channel.....Just my 2 cents

That is listed as the biggest threat in the coming years ( trillions).Parents send kids to college to rack up tons of non-dischargeable debt even through filing a BK.

And if obedience classes failed and you felt the dog was an imminent threat to attack someone, would you abandon your future financial security ... or would you look into finding a new owner for the dog?
