Park Place Communities, LLC etc.) are created in Wyoming (and the address is a registered agent).

On finding an agent, you make a completely valid point about the top producing agents.

As for wholesaling, there is no license required bcoz your not Selling or acting as agent in a fiduciary role to anyone but yourself.

But using that mindset, so is landscaping, plumbing, or clean out during turnover.

Posting this duplex that I found here in the heart of Eastern Michigan, I've been frequently trying to run numbers on duplexes and investment property listings as an up and coming agent and investor to try and gain whether a deal is good or bad.

This my friends on BP is just the reality of Real Estate you have two basic methods One mom and pop keep their day jobs and start buying long term hold rentals as they can afford them and if they like it they keep at it..Two you jump in the game and try to make money transactionally IE RE Broker  Flipper Wholesaler MLO  leasing agent etc etc.. this also is a long term ramp.. what the Guru programs attract generally speaking is those that get excited think they can somehow buy a program ( any program pick one) and its going to jump start them to this mythical financial freedom everyone talks about..

What I'm planning: buy and hold the property, brush and clean it up with intent to hold until cost of funds drops a little in 4-6 months.

If there were ever a time to shop multiple carriers and even multiple agents (if necessary), that time is now. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I'm an agent and investor and about 80% of my buyer clients all house hack.
