I would bring a blank contract so that if you and the seller come to agreement, you can formalize the deal right then and there.

If you're simply doing your own deals on the side (buying and selling) without a formal listing in the MLS or a commission involved, you should be able to continue as if you didn't have a license.

Then you have to prove the first time you did it wasn't a fluke.Lots of people my age talk about the good old days when we could formally assume a note just on our signature.

@Kevin BrownI am from Coryell county which borders Bell county, to the north.

In certain border line flood plain areas, they may need an elevation certificate to determine if flood ins is required.

A good CPA will help you get this cleaned up.You'll probably want to formalize the agreement with your aunt and make sure there are the appropriate money and paper trails.

I live on the Border of Iowa and Illinois in the Quad Cities area.

First, you implied above that you don't yet have a formal offer.

I've been reading the BP forums for a bit and decided to go ahead and make my formal introduction.I'm currently working full time and hope to make my first buy-and-hold rental property purchase sometime within the next year.
