Thats how wholesalers get bad reps when they jump in an aspect of real estate investing that they have no idea about following some guru at a seminar... no offense but definitely do your research first.

No offense, but personally I would have let to go long ago.  

No offense Eric, but at the very least you put your agent in a position to lose his NAID number and not be able to sell HUD homesAs far as the wholesaling issue I don't really have an opinion one way or another but HUD does not allow the marketing of their properties prior to closing. 

I have an office administrator who handles front line duties and work orders not issued by the other managers.

Think CRM as your front-line sales and projects and PM software as your back room management and accounting dept There is no current product that we've found that can do both effectively.

I was just wondering what real investors on the front lines of investing think of these two different strategies.

Don't let business decisions affect your relationship--sometimes you're going to have to decide to do something that will be taken hard, most often it's conversations that must be had that could be offensive.

Maybe you have a KILLER website and he's unsophisticated enough to believe you have a lot of knowledge and experience in the industry (hard to believe, but possible....) or maybe he's a shark looking for an easy meal in a shallow pond.No offense to you and your eager desire to get into real estate, but this guy sounds like a scammer. 

If they decide you're acting as an agent without a license:1st offense - $500 fine2nd offense - felony 

I think part of the offense they took may also have been from the fact that they had invested a fair bit of time in working with me, and I had then turned around and not hired them after seeming to be very interested (which I genuinely was -- but I also wanted to make sure I was getting the very best balance between price and quality that I could).I don't have a lot of experience dealing with contractors, so I'm honestly wondering if I committed a big faux pas, or if Company B is just unprofessional.
