Many companies have left the state entirely.Insurance is a simple math game. 

The guy who claims he is the country's biggest wholesaler and has a "community" says in his video from yesterday Dec 31 (search #251 Wholesale Hotline | LIVE Real Estate Investing Q&A if interested in his "technique"  start at 0:39:00 that the most recent transaction he did Was bailing out a guy in foreclosureGuru "bought" the house for $375,000 from the guy in foreclosureSold it back to them for $498,000 with a 6 month buy back option periodSeller had to give him $20,000 for the optionSo, guru will make about $148,000 on the transaction "Never been to the house, never had to lift a finger""No renovation, the guy is still in the house"Is this the kind of thing the new Oregon law is intended to address? 

@Brian Burke Your more of an honest man, than a salesman.It’s great that (IMO) the most trusted Syndicator/Operator on here is saying to diversify across other assets.Brian you are in it for the long game and that is why people trust you.

Its not all fun and games like at the meet and greet events.

A good attorney will even warn you if you are doing something illegal.As you can see from the list, a wannabe or "self taught" or poorly trained by videos or in a "community", does not provide the breadth of knowledge & experience to keep people out of trouble. 

So I require skin in the game (average is 5% to 15%) to offset this.

I’ve been researching a lot about the basics, but I know there’s so much more to learn, especially from those who’ve been in the game for a while.I’d love to hear from experienced wholesalers about their journeys and any advice you have for a complete beginner like me!

We're probably not going to take the risk if we're busy agents to play that game. 

almost every youtube video ive seen. but I have learned my lesson.

It's all fun & games, until someone loses money.
