Having a good relationship with all sellers.If time permits you should do some practicing on estimating property worth.  

For example, in the Seattle area, you need to apply for a permit for terminating Section 8 and have to meet specific criteria for terminating. 

If any remodeling is necessary (which is mostly the case in inner city Amsterdam) I arrange the complete construction process, from architectural drawings and municipality permit to selecting the right contractor and supervision up till the last key exchange. 

I'm already active on Craigslist, plan to go to meetups, and will be driving and dialing for dollars aggressively as time permits.

If I need a permit for this I want a permit and the necessary permits if needed for the dumpster etc.

All contracts, options, or other devices not based upon a substantial consideration, or that are otherwise employed to permit an unlicensed person to sell, lease, or let real estate, the beneficial title to which has not, in good faith, passed to such party for a substantial consideration, are hereby declared void and ineffective in all cases, suits, or proceedings had or taken under this chapter; however, this section shall not apply to irrevocable gifts, to unconditional contracts to purchase, or to options based upon a substantial consideration actually paid and not subject to any agreements to return or right of return reserved.

Note the part about all contract, options, or other devices employed to permit an unlicensed person to sell, etc.

In fact, I hope I have a success story of my own in 8 months after planning, permitting and several bottles of Motrin.

@Ben WinchesterYa got a permit to carry with that name ::))

We had to get a permit through the town to perform the test.
