So, you need a mortgage originators licence etc.

Ben, This is a quote from https://barneswalker.com/seller-financing-restrictions-under-the-dodd-frank-act/A lease option contract where an owner rents out residential property to a tenant and gives the tenant an option to purchase the property after a specified period may also be subject to the new Dodd-Frank Act, if any of the rental payments are used as a credit toward the purchase price or create ownership equity in the property.As you describe your 'rent to own' it would fall under this rule.If you use part of the payment for the purchase of the home, or extend credit for such purpose you fall under Dodd Frank.So- my best guess answer to your question is if you are doing rent to own, you need the licence. 

I didn't - Zillow combined both listings and all of the photos to represent a fictitious listing.The day before I listed my last home for sale, Zillow and Trulia disagreed on the value of my home by $60,000.Whatever you do, do NOT rely of the Zestimate for any sort of decision making. 

Hi Marcus,If it were mine, I'd hire a property inspector (like when you buy a home) vs having a tradesman do the inspection and see what he says.If it needs to be fixed, I'd get at least 3 bids from contractors who do this work for a living (state licenced brick masons) with (workman's comp insurance), and get 3 recent references from each one of them.

 @Jesus Pena I recommend getting in touch with investors in your area, or perhaps a licenced home inspector to see what needs to be done.

real estate agent from CA.Realtor licence under startrnic real estate,mostly working as a investor and have some rental investment properties and trying to buy more but need financing.

If you can't look them in the face and tell them "no" - blame it on a fictitious partner that controls the funds - he/she said "no" - not you!

Can you use a fictitious name? 

But if you are paying the person doing the inspections, they may need to be licences, since they are offering services that appear to be controlled in your area.If you find issues, it depends on what you are trying to do.  

These seem to controversial here, I have gotten different answers 1 do you have to have a brokers licence in NC2 the fee here in NC seems to be standard instead of percentage, so are we running title searches being that they are only done by Attorney's here?
