This ordeal has shed light on the risks associated with relying solely on fintech apps, particularly those that operate without a banking license and depend on third-party banks for processing.

I am also becoming an agent soon and it is an illegal practice of law to draft a lease agreement as an agent and one could loose their license.

Dealer License: I use my dealer's license to buy the homes and in some cases, I can charge a small markup.2.

If you really don't value your agent's ability and think you can do it better, it's likely best that you 1) interview more to find one that you do trust, 2) go through the listing agent, directly, if you're that comfortable with handling your side on your own, or 3) maybe get your license so you can control your side of negotiations with the proper tools needed (MLS access with agent info, showings, contracts, tax records, uploaded listing docs like surveys, disclosures, broker assistance for questions, etc.).

My title company has told me that it is impossible to do a simultaneous closing using only the end-buyers’ money to fund the transaction on a wholesale deal as they say it is considered a “dry closing” and is illegal in the state of Virginia.Someone from the title company also told me that there is a limit on the number of assignment deals that you can do before you are forced to get a real estate license or it is considered brokering without a license.

From the liability/asset protection side always use licensed and insured vendors, build out a robust contract management system, make sure the owner is always listed as additional insured.

Licensed STR can transfer.* Above average ROI. 5.

@Bryan JeffriesThis is definitely a scenario to discuss with your licensed tax advisor. 

Lead Free involves more expensive tests and has a higher standard, but you're "one and done" in terms of licensing and registration.
