I live on Long Island in New York where tenant laws are not favorable for owners and often could encourage squatting. 

I would encourage you to ask your CPA what’s included in the scope of services.If you have a California LLC, there’s an $800 per year filing fee, at a minimum, so that’s likely why your accountant is saying not to have an LLC. 

Furthermore, I noticed that any initial email I sent out to a sponsor was responded with them encouraging me to set up a time to discuss the business with them.

They sponsor biweekly webinars, where they encourage Q&A on many topics in the Fix & Flip landscape.The draw process seems standard (what you would expect) and makes sense.

I would encourage getting a job or something to be your primary income.

YES, a job is essential and the sooner I land something, the sooner I'll get on my REI journey. thanks for the encouragement & advice. 

This is risky, but shifts the burden of paying the buyer agent from seller to buyer, and encourages buyers to avoid tire-kicking.3.

Just ignore them.No one can deny how pointless it is to be on a wholesaling forum—designed to teach, educate, encourage, and support you—only to respond to a genuine cry for help with negativity or by telling someone to give up.

His responses do not encourage providing any advice.good luck

What is encouraging to me is that it has done this all without a Federal Reserve bail out.
