When dealing with unlicensed wholesalers you’re going to have a lot of issues like the ones mentioned above and others you didn’t mention, like gaining accessTo house, title issues and so forth.I’ve been around real estate for 3 years now and just this past week I finally found someone who found a good deal through a wholesaler.It’s a flip.

As a wholesaler, you are essentially working as an unlicensed agent, so the comps thing should be up to you to figure out. 

Unlicensed individuals cant provide access to the home.

Hopefully I can make my first deals unlicensed and with out an LLC/S corp. 

Reason being is wholesalers are unlicensed and they can essentially do whatever they want.

If your question is "is it legal to pay a real estate brokerage fee to the receiver who is doing real estate sales but is unlicensed," the answer is no. 

if your competing against other unlicensed wholesaler or buyers looking to just flip contracts you should beat the pants off them.

Sounds like you might be dealing with another unlicensed broker. 

Called several electricians to do a service change at my house (add a meter and separate basement and first floor circuits) - a job that requires pulling a permit with DOB.Each time I ask for proof of license, electrician says something like "We sign contracts, You give deposit, I pull permit" and doesn't address license.This has happened to me 3 or 4 times.How are these electricians pulling permits if they are unlicensed?

DON'T HIRE UNLICENSED CONTRACTORS2.
