I'm not clear on all this brokering license talk other than to say in the state of Maryland(where I am) you must either be a licensed broker dealer or a principle in an SEC registered fund to sell a note located in Maryland or to an investor in Maryland based upon what our attorney told us when we registered our PPM in Maryland.

You know the dealer has to make a profit - otherwise, why would he take your old car?

I assume his post is accurate in that he anticipates financing less than $2.5M and as an issuer (and not a dealer) per our state securities law.

I take home ~4k/mo at my job (I approximate because I work as a poker dealer, my income is not fixed), seems like I am well in the positive when it comes to DTI no?

I know I could have sold it for more myself, but the dealer made it easy to take my old one and get me into a new one all in one step.

Alright, I understand the intent here is probably to prevent people from potentially being scammed by unscrupulous dealers but this is a little ridiculous for pro members.Since you've taken away our ability to message users directly without being connected to them as colleagues, if someone asks for a referral the only way to send it to them on the site, without posting it out in the open, is via a colleague request.

When I got the the bedroom I almost vomited from the smell.And the last one was an obvious drug dealer complete with the video surveillance system of people coming up the walkway and standing at his door.

Since they sell deeds to an investor, and then manage individual property sales soon-after to an end buyer in an installment sale, the investor is really a "dealer" in the eyes of the IRS and is responsible for taxes on the entire markup, even though the money has not yet been received.  

What’s the deal with Lonnie dealer?

They get to see how things are at a campground and they go from there.Another idea is get a local dealer involved.
