Engineering is a fantastic major and I completely agree with those of you who said engineers are PROBLEM SOLVERS.

Be personable, genuine, problem solver and honest.

Be their problem solver.

See http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/12/topics/1801...for negotiating terms deals. 40 long posts.What I like about terms deals on pretty houses is you only have a -Pretty House Seller that has no or equity, gets a terms offer quickly for full price, gets PITI covered-Buyer that needs time to get a mortgage, gets the home now, gets coaching on getting a good mortgage-Compared to Wholesaling: No Picky Cash Buyers, No Builders, No Contracting Knowledge Needed,  No LOW 65% less costs offers-Less Competition than dealing with Only Wholesaling-If you are licensed, you can differentiate yourself as a problem solver and get referrals from other agents, many states like CA, OH and FL require RE licensesPM me if I can help.Best wishes,Brian

This is my opinion on Georgia and why it's even worth getting a licenseGetting a license give you respect from a probate attorney, from a divorce attorney, from other real estate agents, especially if you're problem solver and using creative finance

I like to be a transaction engineer, not a one trick pony.Because in 2016 credit is still tight right now you should look at having a "problem-solving real estate business".I call it "don't be a one trick pony"You should be a problem solver for seller having a few tools, such as sub2, lease options, wraps, etc for acquiring properties on top of listing and buying whole for all cash "as is".So what I'm going to do is to discuss what I would do if I were training my brother or my sister to set up a "terms RE business" so that they can make some money quickly, by "looking for problems".I am the reverse of Jerry Pucket, I farm expireds, cancelleds, long DOMs, FSBOs, FRBOs and Wholesalers that have pretty houses, no work, and no equity.So I would say, if the property is in a nice A B neighborhood, good schools, above the median,"<Name>, it sounds like a great house, I'd love to walk through it and perhaps write an offer"Get all decision makers there.Here is a "cash or terms" lead sheet.https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/REISkills...And a long post about a business plan for 2016https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/83/topics/264...

Meanwhile..offers are lost, deals are botched, and people are sued.This happens with wholesalers, mortgage brokers, car salesman...it happens in life.I don't think any honest, creative, successful real estate problem solver would like to be lumped into some lazy stereotypical "wholesaler" group any more than a Licensed Agent would.Example: One deal I know of.

Become a salesman, a problem solver, or you wont be good at wholesaling. 2. 

Our business model is "Professional problem solver!"

We are problem solvers.
