I am starting a new journey in the mobile home niche I eventually want to write my own notes (shout out to lonnie) but would like to gather cash and I feel the best step to this is to do wholesaling.

Unless you have something explicit in writing that they permit you to move forward, I'd hold off.Consult with counsel.

Our practice has been to write a lease for their contract dates (typically 12 weeks).

However, when they don't offer it or they offer something that is less than the Buyer's agent charges then the Buyer can just write in the offer that the Seller is to pay "x commission" to the buyer's agent.

LLC offer the potential protections you seek.LLC allows write off and business expenses.Consult with counsel and accounting.

Further, we were writing about 40 checks and mailing them to our investors as monthly distributions.

Doesn't seem to be a consensus on here on how to write the lease up.

Instead you have to express in writing you interest in buying a property, and they write back how much they want for it.

@Michael Plaks I think the quote will need to be read a few times haha (who writes these tax codes 🙄) 

One week later, after writing their current investors that they are suspending interest payments, they are still seeking new investors for investments but do not inform the new potential investors that they have suspended interest payments.
