Hello Friends,I own a 1982-built ground-level condo (one unit above, one below).

I've lost friends and family to substance abuse so it seemed like an opportunity to do some good and make money in the process.I negotiated a sweet deal, and was prepared to buy it myself, but a few of my clients expressed interest and I ended up helping two of them form a partnership.

Try being an agent, your phone number is EVERYWHERE and you get targeted by a whole industry that wants to sell you the latest gimmick.Here is what helped me.I answer calls and when it's a telemarketer I will interrupt them and say very friendly (because I don't hate the poor person who gets paid to do this and coached to be ruthless): Hey, so glad you called, can you do me a big favor? 

To all the wonderful BP friends!

Cons:not as friendly for our family to use at the same time.

I stayed in touch with all of my investors who bought off of me to see how well they did and my biggest joy was when they returned to buy more or told their friends about me and what I do! 

Maybe a family member or close friend?

Hi friends! 

They may have been introduced to wholesaling as a low-barrier entry into real estate and never considered licensing as a viable option.Why Getting Licensed Could Be Beneficial:Access to MLS: Licensed agents can access MLS listings, making it easier to find deals and run comps.Credibility: Being licensed can increase trust and credibility with sellers and buyers.Expanded Opportunities: As you mentioned, having a license opens up the option to list properties traditionally when wholesaling isn’t the best fit.Legal Clarity: Licensing helps clarify what you can and can’t do, reducing the risk of running into legal issues that plague unlicensed wholesalers.It’s a balancing act, but for many serious operators, getting licensed seems like a logical step to expand opportunities and ensure compliance.

While I know this isn't a lot in today's market, I believe there are creative ways to make it work.I’m a former foster child who was declared independent as a teen, so I've been living with close friends that I consider family.
