Sorry, but real estate must be your profession.If you are brokering to others, an affiliate, or a correspondent, then none of this matters.

Yes, NY is a tricky state to comprehend when it comes to wholesaling but it is 100% not illegal.

I am not affiliated with Property Radar but we do use them and for this kind of service I think they are best in class.

Note, I'm not affiliated with this group and have never attended so I don't know how it's gonna go, but I'm open to the experience and thought I'd share since you are beginning your journey in this area as well.

I can not comprehend how someone of such total inability and lack of knowledge is a real estate broker, or presenting themself as an agent in any capacity.

-Maintenance, find a local NARPM chapter and they probably have a bunch of affiliate vendors on there.

He has over a dozen affiliate companies that pay him every time a member uses their services.

To be successful in PM, I started cold calling, going to meetups, and meeting every person affiliated with real estate that I could.  

If you are a broker who welcome agents with non-affiliation with board of realtor, or know of a broker who operates like this, could you please connect with me? 

So, in summary, if I was you, I would stay away from both the Azzam Group, RE/MAX Haven, and anybody else affiliated with them.
