I thought you could send an application into the REEB (Real Estate Examining Board) for a "pre-determination" of sorts. 

Dividends would be paid quarterly with the option to withdraw them at anytime or reinvest them for higher returns but the initial and core funds would be locked for a pre-determined amount of time (example: 1-5 years depending on the property.)

There are no restrictions on selling something you already own - though in some states, you’ll need a developer’s license if the number of transactions goes above a threshold amount in a predetermined period of time.

Currently, I’m located in the California Bay Area and the market is hot so I’m looking into long distance investing in a cheaper market (no predetermined market just yet).

I know not to get emotional and bid higher than my predetermined number.

It's a constant guessing game and trying to time the market in order to maximize your gain, unless you have the discipline to stick to your exit strategy and predetermined hold period.

@Lynne GarrisBrief summary of wholesaling1) You do some marketing to a predetermined group of home owners who, for whatever reason, you believe would be in a situation in which they would sell their home for a significant discount2) When you receive a reply from an interested party, you do a walk through of the property and make note of it's condition and any needed repairs.3) You determine the After Repair Value (ARV) of the home.

Also imagine that the metrics display thresholds so you can gauge whether they are "good" or "bad" (based on a pre-determined criteria of what is "good" or "bad").1.

Pre-determined amounts will be paid to me in inequal yearly installments (e.g. year 5 pays $12k and year 11 pays $207k).

What it sounds like from the local "in the know" CPA is that the following "related party transaction" should occur as follows:1 Agent and 501(C)(3) enter agreement dictating that a specific amount of money will be donated by agent from "qualified transactions".2) RE agent generates a commission from the sale of a "qualified transaction".3) Agent donates predetermined amount of money to 501(C)(3).4) 501(C)(3) realizes this income as non-UBI, agent expenses the amount paid, so there is no negative tax implication for either party.Does this sound plausible and accurate?
