Its tough because we have the same long-term objectives (but at least our interests are aligned..) 

I honestly think you're having a great start versus other teenagers, but I agree with Mark that a real estate license shouldn't really be a priority or a main objective.

It creates a different dynamic, and I don't know that there are very many investors out there that can help counsel me through those unique challenges… If there are any.

@Karin Walker It appears that the underlying objective here is that you have no deal  flow (yet). 

You will find that you can have larger swings when you deal with unique properties as that requires experience from the appraiser to understand the market.  

I'm not here to complain about that - I'm here to see if there is a way to do things better.Is it possible for wholesalers to have a unique selling proposition?  

You won't accomplish your objective and you won't get your way, and Ocwen will go on with their business and the CFPB will take your complaint and label it as another success story of the government helping you.The moral of the story is that you are dealing with Ocwen.

Many people see all these shiny objects and when they sit down and talk with me they realize they are not doing any of them effectively.I would suggest starting with you and your wife sitting down and asking what is your end goal..

Supply & demand, too many people coming into the note space paying too much, which will cause them to make low gains and hopefully motivate them to find the next shiny object. 

Honestly, none of what you wrote is particular unique to Western PA.
