Hey guys, wondering what the locals think will be the impact of this from, here is the article from IBJ:September 6, 2016Hayleigh ColomboCarmel-based for-profit college operator ITT Educational Services Inc. announced Tuesday morning that it will permanently “discontinue academic operations” at all ITT Technical Institutes campuses.The company has already eliminated the “vast majority” of its 8,000 employees and canceled the fall academic quarter, which had been scheduled to begin this month, according to a statement released Tuesday morning.ITT Educational operates more than 130 ITT Technical Institute campuses in 38 states.ITT Tech announced a week ago it would stop enrolling students, and an Indianapolis charter school run by the companyhas also shut down.The move follows years of scrutiny by the federal education department over its recruiting methods and students’ educational performance, and recent actions that made itineligible to accept new studentswho relied on student loans.In its statement Tuesday morning, ITT called the federal sanctions “inappropriate and unconstitutional.""

Wholesaling is probably my least familiar area as far as the process of getting it on contract and then finding a buyer and the closing process, although the more I learn the more comfortable I feel with the overall process.I have enough experience with REI to know that it will be my future method of generating full time income, at this point mainly through rehabbing and rental properties.

At the Knoxville Real Estate Investors Association - KnoxREIA .com - one of our members recently increased their first appraisal by more than $35K by using this method of record keeping.

I've used all of the methods above on remodels to get power. 

This is a composite of all of their conversations: Since you're wholesaling with the intention to move to the buy and hold method, it wouldn't benefit you to work as an agent.  

If not, what do you think about my method of thinking with this situation?
