As @Ben Curry described so well, you don’t negotiate repairs until later, and as long as the New Mexico State form was used for the offer, your contingencies and time frames are all addressed in your offer.

They could barely speak English but they knew that if they wanted they could buy a home like mine for how they described it as "Seero Down".

As far as license for wholesaling like @Chris Heeren said, its gray, the terminology that dictates what activities  require a license are (for a fee and for another) and a fee is described as compensation or a thing of value, so it doesnt have to be money.

Our site exists to confirm we exist, describe what we do, provide contact information.

I partner with the wholesaler in a Wholesaler and Wholesaler Partnership contract as buyers on a purchase and sale contract, and which describes the terms of the agreement and payment.I provide Real Estate Salesperson Licensee and Financial Interest Disclosure to the seller.Both myself and the reverse wholesaler are buyer's on the contract and we both have the right to assign.If anyone has more thoughts on this, please chime-in. . .Nina

I merely describe the paperwork I've been presented with when I was a flipper which, thank goodness, I am no longer.

We made sure we covered every single basis and worded it as you described above.

For example, if you found a great real estate deal and convinced me to contribute 50% of the funds, I wouldn't be interested in any contract from you promising not to steal my money: I'd want a secured interest in the property, likely in the form of a promissory note (describing the terms of the loan) and a recorded security deed (pledging the property as collateral for the loan).

I'm eager to start investing though, so I'm wondering what people here would do...wait until after buying the home, save up for another couple of years, then invest in something described above or take a smaller amount of money in the meantime and try a crowdsourced investment. 

@Ned Carey pretty much described the process spot-on.
