It would be a great Home/Office for a medical practice, where do folks look?

I have read and believe it to be true that 8 out 10 people that take the real estate class and exam never actually practice real estate.

I started out at Deloitte in their Real Estate practice group here in NYC.

Regulators look for predatory practices from scrupulous people and companies where they offer to review and some type of fee is paid to the party.

So, that is my thinking and basis, states may allow it, I don't know if there has ever been a challenge to this, I can see where it wouldn't be if it was common practice, but who knows....Again, I totally agree, these matters are state specific and folks need to get with local counsel. :)

Thanks @Kevin Macdonald ,To answer your second question, yes you should find a qualified Enrolled Agent licensed to practice before the IRS to assist you with your tax return.EAs are required to take CE in taxation whereas most other designations are not.

I've been practicing law in Dallas and Tarrant County for about 9 years.

Upon re-reading and reviewing these threads, what stands out are two points: 1) If you want to do seller financed deals, target your marketing to the best candidates to be open to this type sale. 2) Research, study and practice the language necessary to communicate the deal(s) you want to do in terms that your target audience will understand and respond positively to.

This is actually a great practice on your agents side.

I'm not defending this practice, but the situation is that new investors can make dozens and dozens of inquiries to a lender on deals that never come to fruition.
