The legal advice I was given is consistent with pretty much anything you find about the subject on the Internet.

Back before there was email and internet people serious about buying property would hand deliver offers and meet in person with checks in hand. 

But finding GOOD lease option buyers to assign to is a much more difficult task, because the reality is that 70% of people who call me on my ads are not a good fit, and likely wouldn't be able to actually exercise their "first right of purchase" on the home after I assign to them before the expiration date.

Do your research on the Internet to gather as  much info on these types of money scamming companies.

If you are not locking it up and trying to sell it, you have to be licensed in your state to sell a property you do not own for a profit/commission or fee.DISCLAIMER: Not legal advice and just ramblings of some dolt on the internet.

You stumbled upon one of the best real estate investing site in the internet!

Congratulations, you have found one of the most valuable (and free) resources on the internet for real estate investors.

I think all you need is a title company to close your transactions - no don't need an account at this time - most title companies have lawyers to close your transactions -You should make sure that you buy real estate at a giant discount - Understand the management process - learn how to be a good landlord - a tenant is a customer - the tenant is the person who will pay for your mortgage - treat them well.Find discounted real estate from landlords who find themselves in rent court -Start to deal directly with owners - I don't think you should depend on agents selling retail properties - you need to go under-ground for great deals -Tax salesPublic AuctionsRun print ads and radio commercialsInternet - 5 weeks ago I created an internet site - I have received over 200 leads - have 70 offers out there and 15 ratified contracts - learn those systems and you will do well.Expired listings - go knock on some of those doors - an expired listing is  FAILURE of property to sell - I am sure the sellers are not happy - go find them and solve their problems.Direct mail to commercial properties owners - commercial buildings can be  great profit center - when you advertise for real estate - signs - internet or mailings always advertise - WANTED REAL ESTATE - houses - commercial and non-conforming properties - all cash -as is - no commission.

As a random friendly person on the internet, I'm going to go ahead and just nuke that idea from orbit and say "nope." 

I've seen bizbuysell and other stuff on the internet but I'm not looking for something like redfin where it sends you the a buyer's agent if you have an inquiry.
