Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: Oregon finally passed legislation to reel in unlicensed wholesaling its in this months publication from the state RE agency.Highlights:Goes into effect  July 1 2025Requires:On line application to become a licensed wholesaler  ( RE agents exempt from this of course they already have licenses)Name of company and individuals who will be performing these services.Each one needs a full criminal background check and approval prior to receiving the license.300.00 annual fee for the license.Written Disclosures in Bold 10 point.These must be given to Buyer and Sellers prior to entering into a wholesale contract and signed for.Also RE brokers assisting wholesalers need to give these to potential buyers and sellers.

New construction (strip centers, grocery stores, roads etc) started booming the last year.

I would venture to say very few landlords correctly hold their deposits based on local landlord/tenant law but as long as the money doesn't walk away and is not wrongly withheld from tenants its highly unlikely wrongfully storing the funds will become problematic.

You don't have to go to the store. 

Maybe it's a processing fee, an application fee, etc?  

Anyone who says they "need an application fee" is a hard NO! 

In that case, I told them to pay till May as that was the only time I was able to get applications.

“If we are unable to continue to raise sufficient capital through this offering, there is a strong likelihood our business will fail and you may lose your entire investment.”RAD declined to directly answer detailed lists of questions from The Inquirer, saying in a statement that they contain “various inaccuracies.”The firm did say it works to “comply with all securities, licensing, landlord-tenant, and other applicable laws and regulations.”Now, the SEC wants to tell federal prosecutors about allegations concerning the divergence between RAD’s online pitches and its more downbeat official self-descriptions.ADVERTISEMENTThe allegations are contained in a complaint sent to the SEC by a fraudster-turned-self-styled whistle-blower named Barry Minkow, who said he gathered material from RAD for his report by pretending to be a potential investor in the company.Late last month, the SEC asked Minkow for his consent to share the document with the Office of the U.S.

Currently accepting applications for friends and family because teamwork makes our dreams work.Even then, that statement has narrowed the possible solutions. 

EVERY applicant is "qualified"!
