As always, consult with your licensed tax professional for qualifying, tax implications and strategy.

I am on the board of CFRI, our local REIA and I know we have dozens of agents and investors that have their license if only to list and buy their own properties, but could recommend some to you. 

Some are not even licensed realtors.

However, I'm now a licensed REALTOR in the Springs and am looking for a flipping team, or even to work with investors!

An update one year later after this post, I now have:- Got my property and casualty license and wrote 370+ policies in a year- Saved up a few more thousand dollars in investable cash, paid off $20K in debt and raised my credit score by 100 points- Launched a direct to seller cold email marketing campaign and generated leads for cheap- Got connected with a few real estate investing communities like Subtle Asian Real Estate and Pace Morby's SubTo- Aggressively read and studied as much as I can get my hands onThat being said, I decided to run a marketing campaign to generate distressed seller leads in Phoenix, Arizona, mostly because:1.

In some cases that's amazing -- one part of the town gov't considers it to be a commercial lodging establishment so it's exempt from STR permitting and regulation. 

Eliminate debt, establish a budget, and save.

If you're wanting to wholesale, drop your license. 

Most PMs, especially the well established ones, will not always flex for specific clients like this but it could be an option.hope this helps.
