But if you can sell cars successfully you can sell real estate.if you have 5 to 20k liquid to pay for marketing you can start.if you can go 30 60 90 days or longer with out getting paid you can startif you have a decent vehicle and afford gas you can start.if you know how to do an escrow that helpsjust much more too it.the negative you get is that many get desperate or it simply attracts the less than ethical folks because no license required and in some markets were they prey on the not so bright owners they can really abuse them... its a fine line for sure.. not to mention its illegal the way most do it in most states.. just because they don't get caught does not make it legal.assigning contracts OK.. makreitng a house you don't own on craigslist usually requires a licesneBut in my mind if your sharp enough to be a good wholesaler you can also be a good broker or anything else you choose to do.
