You get better access to mls, commissions, and people take you more serious.

I'm looking to access some home equity and if someone has done some leg work and is willing to share I'm all ears.  

Remember also that as you pay down your line you still have access to it.

I have access to the expired MLS listings and do a lot of marketing.

I would just pay for the underwriting if they just give me access for inspection.

We currently live in the states but have family members that can help take care of the property as well as access to a property manager. 

There are also the benefits of being able to access the MLS etc, etc, etc I guess it depends on you really.. how involved do you want to be involved with real estate?

Getting your real estate license is a good idea, so that you can access the MLS and get paid as an agent if that's what you want to do, I know several realtors who do both traditional real estate and wholesaling in Ohio.Best of luck,Aaron

Separate utilities, laundry and each has a one car garage with individual access.

@Ching Yang, If you reword everything in terms of "act of service", you will be looked upon differently.Wholesalers enable quicker access to capital through a network of buyers to motivated sellers, without having to fix up the houses, that traditional MLS or retail buyers cannot provide.
