If you want to be an unlicensed broker with no ethics, etc then piper is the guy to follow.

He is probably unlicensed and uninsured for damages,move on.

I tell people to avoid most unlicensed brokers because they aren't accountable and have no government oversight.

If it was THAT lucrative all the unlicensed brokers would be well off.

You have an advantage of being licensed so there is a lot you can do that unlicensed brokers cannot.

Sub 60 sf bathrooms, unlicensed contractor, sub-rental grade finish...doable. don't expect your grout to have a straight line or tiles levelled though.

You mean act as an unlicensed realtor?  

If owner, then here is your decision tree:Buy with sub2, and then hold and rent, sell as a lease option, or sell on terms to someone else (you could also list it if you wanted to, but I doubt you'd have success when the owner didn't unless the agent is at fault).If collect one time assignment fee, then here is your decision tree:Put property under contract to buy (with this, you can put the property under contract as sub2 and assign sub2 deal to someone, or assignable contract for deed, or assignable lease option).If you have the option to go either way, and you're local to the area, then there are more advantages to buying with sub2 (or being on the deed via a mortgage wrap, because then you have equitable title and you're not assigning - no one can ever start an unlicensed broker investigation on you if you're on title).So which exit strategy sounds best to you?

I read that you can hire an unlicensed assistant as a licensed associate in Florida so that the assistant can have access to the MLS. 

"Wholesaling" is the new breed of mostly unlicensed brokers with no education, no insurance, and worse yet, no clue.
