These include falsely claiming to have closed dozens of deals when none were ever closed, illegal payment of undisclosed sales commissions to bundlers and independent contractors, advertising the funds as safe and appropriate to investors with obvious near-term needs for their capital, creating fund of funds en masse assembly line fashion with no corresponding SEC filings, unregistered brokers/financial advisors acting in that capacity absent licensure, having customers wire money claim the fund is fully subscribed and putting them into a high yield promissory note, accepting funds from unaccredited investors, misrepresentations about the debt put on the project, lies about experience level of the principals, omissions of material facts, and at least two straight up Ponzi schemes.While it's true that some legitimate operators are having issues in their portfolios, today's circumstances are a perfect example of the idiom, "you can only discover who is swimming naked when the tide goes out."

The requirement to have a realtor license, according the Maryland state statute 17-102, does not apply when (among other things)"an owner or lessor of any real estate while managing, leasing or selling the real estate, unless the primary business of the owner or lessor is providing real estate brokerage services or...a person while acting in the capacity of a personal representative" Sounds like a carve out for representing yourself to me.Which would be consistent with the NC definition of a realtor as anyone who buys, sells, leases...real estate for others for compensation.

The plan regarding primary residence is to finish the basement out to increase a number of bedrooms and capacity for the short term rental.

In short, I'll never do it again unless the relationship began as a business relationship that later evolved into a friendship and even then I'd be very selective.In my experience, over time, lines got blurred and our relationship evolved to a point where every conversation mentioned the business in some capacity.

This is the biggest load of crap so-called "SEO experts" will tell you.

From a mid sized FL PM -You are doing a lot of what I do for my clients, but at a smaller capacity. 

You can off-load the properties. 

Anyway.. like I said I sure could see it for higher end more sophisticated sellers that actually have money.and a great way to shed tire Kickers.. and BS I am an investor type people that really have no means or capacity. 

But there are loads of tourists here, I see them all day long.  

Has the loading or wait times improved?
