If the latter, depending on the jurisdiction, YOU may need to be a licensed real estate agent/broker to engage in what’s commonly called “wholesaling” but is actually “flipping”. 

Happy Monday,Hi Matt - I appreciate all your engagement in this thread.

On the other hand, I have seen out-of-state investors purchase properties that do not meet the 1% rule, opt for self-management, engage in sweat equity, and still achieve great cash flow.For a specific example, any listing from the market could be used.

Only if a person has a massive active income, providing for significant excess capital yrly and a sizable tax liability does it make any sense to engage in other focus. 

I look forward to engaging with you all, sharing insights, and hopefully contributing to discussions as I progress on my journey. 

Most importantly, whether you do it by directly engaging the seller or hire someone (agent, broker, foreclosure consultant and etc.), you must research the local laws and regulations, which are State specific.

US worker engagement is 31%.

I think that a part time investor can have success with syndicated offerings and triple net leased properties if they’re willing to learn real estate fundamentals, perform “due diligence” on the deal/sponsors/property and engage legal help.  

Has another title company been engaged?

They taught me how to professionally engage the brokers and sellers and submit all-cash offers using THEIR cash.
