While MLS remains the primary platform for on-market deals, the majority of deals I encounter originate from off-market sources, often through wholesale channels.When you say wholesale, someone(wholesaler) finds a homeowner who is in need of cash quickly or cannot go through traditional process of selling their house for some reason, and then the wholesaler finds an investor to buy the house who will pay in cash?

A lot of the things a mortgage company requires is to protect their financial interests (and subsequently protect you also)....getting title insurance, a survey, an assessment/inspection, and requiring home owner's insurance. 

Be in the same game with them as investors and then be able to help with your license as you learn.The best thing about having a license as a new agent and investor is that you can go see all of the vacant properties on the market (don't bother tenants or homeowners if you are just browsing), ones for investment and flips, so you can start to get some market knowledge.

As a general rule of thumb, anything you do as a homeowner can be done by a renter. 

I will be posting repairs and maintenance tips and tricks for homeowners and DIY'ers every few days. 

This includes principal, interest, taxes, homeowners insurance and mortgage insurance!

Since my tenants are usually homeowners it doesn't make sense for me, but even for the couple travel nurses I've had, the background/credit check was sufficient and seeing how they communicate with me prior to booking.
