Wow @Peter John KYou sound like an entrepreneur or opportunist or whatThis whole post was talking about looking at the current laws in your state and seeing if what you're doing is legal or illegal starting with Ohio and branching off into Florida and CaliforniaIf you don't take title and your marketing it, chances are in Arizona you may be breaking some kind of laws that may or may not be enforced diligentlyArizona's got a lot of older people retired and all it takes is a complaint from a licensed broker to the real estate commission of Arizona to anyone in Arizona that perhaps is doing unlicensed brokerage activityI don't think Real estate lawyers  really care too much what you're doing re being unlicensed because they'll get their feeI don't think title companies will care too much because they'll get their closing fee and they don't care if your licensed or notThe wild wild West of Real Estate Investing used to be to be able to take anybody and write out a contract on the roof of the car and do ever you wantWith credit being so tight right now and listings so hard to get and buyers so hard to get financed through the Dodd Frank and CFPB regulations, Real estate brokers I don't think mind calling the commission and saying hey this guy is doing brokerage activities.Is it fair?

Better yet, I strongly suggest you consider working with or for an experienced, seasoned investor who will guide you to specific tasks and keep you from being a wild child as you master your craft. 

The list wasn't as updated as I wild like.

You need to see me on my wild days, LOL.

I started full time investing during the top of a wild market that rapidly tanked, going from one extreme to the other.

Heck I bought a house that was growing mold mushrooms and it didnt cost 30k to strip it and redo it. 

I occasionally do contemporaneous settlement but that is only with large packets where I would struggle to fund the closing.In my market of Memphis homes sell for wildly varying amounts due to the circumstances surrounding the sale.

Brandon: advice from marketers can vary wildly.

And the crowd goes wild..shhshshshshshshshss roar and applause."

Sounds like you were really working in the 'wild west' in those days.
