I do not want to invest purely for the tax advantages but i won't lie those are a HUGE reason.

The other 98-99% were most likely pure tire kickers that will never do anything, but are requesting my time. 

@Travis Zuehls Just so you know, those BS "business credit lines with 0% for 12-18 mo.s" you see hawked by people on here are not cash credit lines....they are trade line type credit at places like home depot, office depot, etc, etc....pure crap, and they want to charge you (5 or so for the "credit lines" they "get for you".

No one should trust any broker that attempts to give legal advice for any state, much less the entire USA, and talks badly about an entire segment of the industry.The two people mentioned above are commonly found trolling on threads about wholesaling with the pure intention of talking bad about it as if every wholesaler is acting illegally and dishonestly...so take what they say with that grain of salt.
