In either case, you risk the courts interpreting wholesaling as a net listing, clearly illegal.

The Supreme Court in our state recently interpreted to include even situations where the seller was not in distress.

Then again, everyone's interpretation of "full-service" will vary so cover your bases and get a copy of the agreement.

I've digress though so on to my question.I seek your help in learning how to interpret the market data I come across.

Each state is different and fortunately I have not had to deal with any problems that required money coming from our real estate commissions recovery fund.If you have to go after them directly you will still need to use of the good real estate attorney.Follow up with a real estate attorney and see if they come up with the same interpretations and what they recommend your best course of action is.I know it is frustrating.Kevin

Also, I'm not sure exactly how the terms of contracts with lenders work or the interpretation of the law, but it has been suggested to me by a few other investors I have met that I could live there for a few months and then "have to move" and just keep my mailing address there for a few months while then renting the property.

I don't know them and might be totally off base, but I feel like you might be mis-interpreting this situation.  

Those guidelines are subject to interpretation.

I'm interpreting it to mean they're OK with financing, but don't be surprised if the property doesn't appraise?

@Brian EastmanThat's what I thought, just wanted to male sure I was interpreting things correctly.
