My two question are:Have other agents had similar type offers on any listings? 

I am just wanting to connect with any investors or agents in the Bourbonais area.Anybody active around there?

If our agent pays him via checks and bills us at closing, does this have any +ve or -ve impact on the taxes? 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Clearly a scam realtor, I would go through a real estate agent and escrow if anyone is considering doing business with land equities you most likely will let be getting the property you send money for, if any property at all.

Or do you mean you are a licensed real estate agent who wholesales properties? 

Usually, if you have a rock star agent they can give you some guidance. 

If something goes sideways, I would be willing to bet 90% of these single owner LLCs formed for "asset protection" would be easily accused of piercing the corporate veil, and collapses the whole thing anyways.Depending on the state you are operating in, even if you use a Wyoming formed LLC, you will likely be required to register in the state you are operating in, which may require disclosure of that information you don't want to give up already - check to see what those states require for disclosures when registering a "foreign" LLC that is operating in the state.Literally no federal income tax benefits to where your LLC is registered. 

I might start by calling  my insurance agent and asking how this will affect my culpability, not to mention rates.

This is all the data your real estate agent can provide.
