I won't go into those here.And in Florida and OH and CA, you better be an agent to do them or the Dept of RE, who supervises agents will bring a "cease and desist" letter on your business activity.So, seriously, get licensed and declare you are acting as a principal.But the drill this thing down, if you advertise for a house that has a problem, you have flexibility in your solution.If you are working full time, use a service like www.PatLive.com to live answer the calls.Rules of thumb:If you are licensed:A pretty house with 90% loan-to-value, good school district, that might be a lease to own or subject to or a wrap.A pretty house with 80% loan-to-value, good school district, that might be a listing, a lease to own or subject to or a wrap.A pretty house with 50% or less loan-to-value, good school district, that might be a listing.An ugly house with 50% or less loan-to-value, good landlording area, is a good wholesaling deal.And an ugly house with 80% or more loan-to-value, no equity really, that's a short sale.Don't be a one trick pony, be a transaction engineer.
