That is my understanding and I've been to 5 of the islands and have not seen anything larger than a mobile construction office. 

After that, I will do so many deals that I'll get rich and buy an island.. :)

It's sorta like its own little island with regards to economy and market.  

Sounds like a Mercer Island home!

BUT, I'm investing in Staten Island (among otherplaces) and - guess what?  

I no longer live in the islands, but I maintain my company there remotely and regularly flip properties.

I'm just starting to try wholesaling, and I look forward to learning (especially from other Long Island wholesalers) what I should and shouldn't be doing.

I'm just getting started on Big Island.

This means these sellers will have less equity and less buying power when they relocate to the Fraser valley or Vancouver island. 

@Jose CintronThe rent to own business with Sellers or with tenant buyers take some talent and some knowledgeWholesaling is pretty straightforward as far as finding a motivated seller and finding a cash buyer and putting them togetherIf you're assigning lease options I highly recommend you get an RMLO to prequalify your tenant buyers as per the Dodd Frank and the safe actThis way most of your tenant Buyers will get mortgagesThere's also a component of credit improvement to help increase FICO scores if DTI is OKI know Massachusetts really well I grew up in Arlington@Mike Hurney@Shaun ReillyMike and Shaun are been around the block quite a few timesBeing licensed allows you to show houses and market house you do not own to tenant buyers in MassachusettsOnce  you get caught acting as a real estate agent, you get a fine and you get a record against the department of real estate in MassachusettsThen  it's difficult for you to get a licenseIf you want to buy on subject to or wrap mortgage without a license I think you're in the clear because you're acting as a principal and you're getting on titleIf you just get your license and act as a principal you're fine, and also disclose to the seller that you are licensed but acting as a principalIf you want to be hardheaded and do lease options without license, please don't complain when you can not do business in  Massachusetts or Rhode Island or Connecticut or New Hampshire or Vermont, New Englanders talk to each other
