The part I don't like is talking to co-workers or others I may have to interact with in the future and giving the impression I'm going to pull a rabbit out of a hat and solve their problem or one of someone they care about.Getting excited doesn't help.This is no deal and let's face reality, you're in no position to be "helping" taking on risks with a really thin deal that is more charity work than investing/dealer operations.

Imagine, instead of finding a dead rat or animal, instead of a human body in one of your future abandoned properties.

There are also a couple of Goodwill/Habitat for Humanity outlets nearby.So I'll do the roof, the floors, the counter, the painting, the fence, and if I have money left for extras, maybe I'll put tumbled travertine on the fireplace surround.I guess I know the fireplace is the least of my worries, but sometimes it's comforting to focus on something you can control!

Even when I bought my first new car, I was turned down by two car brands & dealers for not enough credit, as I was leaving the last one feeling down I pasted by a dealership that I didn't notice before that had a sale on leftover new pickups.

Wholesalers need to keep a low profile in many (if not most) areas.I know that in a couple of large RE brokerages and the BOR, that there are brokers whose unofficial job it is to communicate with the RE Commission and that includes keeping what they may see as rift-raft dealers or illegal operators out of their market area.

I'd rather not crash and burn so I don't get into jet fighters.What just astounds me is that there are real human beings that can not fly a helicopter or even a remote control airplane yet they are eager to get into a jet fighter.

The city's attorney tried to pull everything out humanly possible to win,....zero scruples

I do need to get better at content for humans.

Most seasoned investors will let the listing agent double end the deal as the lisiting agent by human nature is going to push their buyers deal through because of great compensation, not that that's what should happen or is ethical its just human nature taking hold.So yes if you want representation get your own agent to write the deal no worries.

I want to get started buying/selling in Pierce County, but am concerned about the states requirements to be a licensed dealer.
