I am contemplating on getting my RE license and just wanted some feedback from anyone who is a licensed agent and wholesaler.

If you are contemplating buying ANY GOVT foreclosures, skip the brokerages that have listing contracts with HUD, VA, Fannie, Freddie.

@Darren Sager, well.. not that i'm arguing.. just contemplating..I had the properties professionally appraised (I believe they charge HUGE amount of money as compared with the amount of time spent and general level of education needed to become an appraiser) and the price I paid is a lil lower than the appraised value.

I live west of Houston and have begun seeking to buy vacant land / lots with past due property taxes which have not yet gone to tax sale.In a couple instances, I ran into this situation:-Have an owner who is a willing seller-Past due taxes are a relatively large-Too few comps to ascertain resell value with enough certainty to ensure a profitI am looking for an approach that would allow me to legally market the property for the owner and split the profit with the owner if I am able to locate a buyer at a price sufficiently high for the owner, and me, to be satisfied.In these instances, the magnitude of taxes due has increased the risk of finding a buyer willing to pay enough to make a profit if I were to buy the property outright from the past-due owner and resell.I have contemplated a couple possible approaches:1) A purchase option with the past-due owner for a period of time during which I would market the property.
