It would eliminate much of the hassle involved with a 1031, allowing you to invest the profit when/where you want.

There is very little effort involved besides picking up a rent check. 

The other advantage is that it's completely passive, so you don't have to get involved in the day-to-day, if that's what you want.

I haven't had time to go through tax-deeds this weekend (went to go visit my parcel I just won in a tax-deed sale).Your best bet is going with Avvo and posting 1-2 questions per post (you can do this for free) - this will give you a general legal idea of what occurs in the process that you can depend on (Avvo questions are answered by lawyers for free).I ended up paying $200 for a consultation and had my lawyer go through FL's entire tax-deed process while taking notes to study up on.What county are you planning on bidding in?

@Charles Kingery there are no sales taxes involved if you are assigning contracts.

But, I wouldn’t bet on it.

I look forward to getting involved more with BP and other investors.

There's a reason wholesalers get a bad reputation - and it's not because they are making a profit without having skin in the game or don't have a license - it's usually because they move crappy deals, or they hang their clients out to dry when the deal goes bad, or they sell to people who really shouldn't be getting involved in the deal because they are not capable of handling the deal.Also - there's not one single definition of what "wholesaling" is.  

Either way, I'm happy to get you involved with my group.Also, the group that Ann mentioned, Black Diamond is excellent!

@Adam Keffer There are many factors involved in your inquiry and some questions I would have in order to provide you the best advice.
