Disclosure is the key.

@John Lasher If you are still looking to spend $20k-$30K for a coach, I would be happy to take you up on that offer :) For full disclosure,  I will share with you precisely what you can learn online/ perhaps even entirely through these BiggerPockets Forums but that doesn't address the reason why most are still unable to purchase larger assets: creditworthiness and capital relationships.

Full Disclosure I know Brandon.

In the last 18 months various states have instituted new rules, regulations or laws related to (1) need for licensure to wholesale (2) restrictions on marketing of a property in which you do not have ownership and (3) disclosure requirements when dealing with a homeowner that makes it clear to the homeowner that the contact signed with the wholesaler is not a definitive “sales” contract, therefore making it less likely home owners will sign4.

I don't think being a long distance landlord is as easy as some tout but full disclosure I've stayed with 80 miles of my primary residences. 

In my opinion disclosure is always the best policy in both scenarios. 

They do follow the traditional process where disclosures are sent out to the borrower.

Make sure any lease agreement you use complies with Arizona's landlord-tenant laws, including required disclosures (like bed bug information, for example).If you're unsure, consulting with a local real estate attorney to review the agreement can provide peace of mind and ensure you're fully protected.

Full disclosure: I have two cats. 

With software like propstream I can even look at seller mortgage details and MLS private remark.Getting license you only know the legality aspect of being an agent but doesn't necessarily means you would be a smarter one to get to know the market.The only thing that I can not do with propstream is I can not download all disclosures when I try to purchase.
