Would have been a good title for a forum thread for people looking to do direct exchanges.

Even if you don't feel you have enough info to give me directional advice, how would you go about deciding whether to address the problem?  

and NO, I am not part of the 99 percent of bad wholesalers who will be out of business as you implied because I have a huge network of direct buyers.

We are looking forward to finally being able to move forward in a positive direction with cash flow and equity. 

My go to for lowest hassles, taxes and  transaction costs are Lease Options or selling directly to the renters. 

While not a direct scam, their practices are filled with false promises and misleading information.

I tend to find my own properties and deal with the realtors directly but having a realtor if you are brand new to the area, is helpful. 

Was your comment/offer directed at me or @Levi Perl (or both)?

They also provide training videos and webinars.

I can get a direct flight to major metropolitan areas, but it would be much more difficult to get to Topeka or North Dakota, for example.I feel that I'd like to see the market at least once, to get a feel for the area and to meet the local team.
