Maybe it was referring to a corporation selling property for someone other then the corporation, which in fact requires a license.

I'm sure he/she was referring to an assistant.Of course laws differ by state, but I know that here in Tennessee the law is very explicit about what exactly you can and cannot do without a real estate license (this comes up all the time, since busy agents often hire assistants and it needs to be absolutely clear about what they are allowed to do and what must absolutely be done by the licensed agent).

They have all said they can't do it, and have referred me to someone else.

ofgift,the properties and owners you're referring to probably won't be the type of "customer" you'll make money with as an investor.let's just say that this house you're referring to that dropped in price 3k was listed at 100k and now is at 97k...now you're thinking this may mean that prices are dropping and other houses will follow suit.

Great advice from the other poster and I would add:- Get comps from more then one source: Most rely on the free sources only (realtors and sites like Zillow.com); consider purchasing a AVM for another point of reference

This is more a higher end kind of investment, with carefully thought out design (not just mixmatched furniture or things you might find in a hotel or something).I'm sure this is common and there is probably an official term that is used when referring to it.

what type of agreement are you referring to?

I'm the least tech savvy guy around and I DON'T like to spend money so I found the simplest and cheapest solution was to just use the accounting software that came FREE with my computer.

Somebody mention that using land trust is the solution for my problem.
