(LOL)If you can't catch on to the doing you can at least supervise those who can, to do that you'll need to study construction elements, codes and accepted practices.

You might be required to put in a city fire box and fully supervised system.Sprinklers are very expensive.

Running a rehab from a distance is a very tough undertaking.Many will agree that rehabbing is very much a hands on business.The alternative is to find an experienced realtor willing to to help you with all the supervision.

Second, today write your state licensing agency and unless he has such authority given in writing by the seller he is violating his fiduciary duty to his client and could have his license suspended, be fined, or lose his license. he is required by law to submit offers, etc.Look up who his broker is on the state website and send them a copy suggesting there is a failure to supervise his agent.

I have found that they are very fair, they really don't want to supervise some odd ball near miss type business strategy if they don't feel the need to.

So, as you read here on BP about agents, that's is where you'll be, when we speak of a broker, in your case it would be the managing broker.In your case you will be a broker starting out under the supervision of a managing broker.

I have a feeling that's going to end up costing as much as the whole siding job.If the issue is potential contact with the residents, maybe I can offer to pay the director to supervise for the hour or two that they'll need to be out there.

@Bradford Arner and Bill GulleyI only do this under the direction and supervision of not one, but two attorneys who specialize in foreclosures.

Here in CT the marshalls actually supervise the property as its being carted off to a town specific storage area for a specified time.

One must be very careful if entering into this temporary (until the CFPB moves in) process to make sure a state does not require a supervised lending license before engaging in it.Anyone choosing one of these methods should be aware of two issues:They must still be in compliance regarding:- Red Flag - enforcement by FTC and now FINCen- Safeguards - enforcement by FTC and CFPB- Disposal Act - enforcement by FTC and CFPB- Patriot Act - enforcement by FBI and FINCen- OFAC - enforcement by FINCen- Anti Money Laundering - enforcement by US Treasury, IRS, and FINCen- Advertising Rules - enforcement by FTC and CFPB- Fair Credit - enforcement by CFPB- Reg M - enforcement by CFPBThe second issue is the danger of recharacterization as a "disguised credit transaction" either by a regulatory agency or court.
