There are Lots of lenders out there putting out garbage preapprovals...I guess they’re afraid the potential borrower will complain about all the “extra” documentation.

They will install solar panels on roofs, but they will have to fix the roof first at no extra cost to the seller, they can give loans up to $100,000 for green upgrades such as lighting, insulation, HVAC, and windows.

It is easy to burn through downpayment money, so I personally like to preserve my cash.  

You might have no choice but to pay extra.

It may sound nice to pay a 5% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no add-on fees.

If you plan to hold this property for along time, then it maybe worth putting up the extra few bucks.

Unless you invest your extra income in some cash flowing venues you will always be chasing the rent raises.

So if you want to go full-speed wholesaling, having a license is likely to put a couple extra steps into your process.If you're going to be successful in Real Estate investing, you will be successful with or without a license - wholesaling or otherwise.

That's what I'm thinking and I don't want to burn any bridges with real estate agents. 

Also, reduced rates from subs, the education of getting licensed and the extra income potential of taking on some profitable side contracting work.
