Erie could be a great option, especially if you guys are familiar with the market and have family there.

I agree it would be a phenomenal option.

I have learned a lot about the process from listening to BP podcast and other sources, but I still don't know about Oregon's specific laws surrounding wholesaling. 

Since it was a BRRRR deal that we planned to all pull cash back out from, leaving it unleveraged also wasn't an option long term.

Or maybe the ESA letter is from a bogus online source that isn’t acceptable.

Both options have their own challenges.   

I was told if I could show a professional license such as a broker license I might get approved but the best option would be a Private Investigators license, otherwise, they didn't see any other path to approval for me or my company.

Optionality is a good thing and gets overlooked often. 

Do your own research from multiple sources.

Their proposal was for $40k but not sure I have any other local options.
