Here in CA, RE Brokers arrange loans and notes every day, and they are licensed to do it.  

I'd like to hear @John Thedford attest to that post above, what was the investigator calling "wholesaling" taking title and selling or selling a contract with a fee arrangement?

Even if you're new chime in, just let us know what stage you're in on getting things done. 

Here are a few before and after pics from the flip....A link to the final pics from staging and marketing:http://tfv.co/dp1459760

At the stage of my life i have 100% passion, drive and initiative to make REI my full time "job"...I'm all in! 

Some of the boiler plate "sale contracts" used by some are clearly brokerage arrangements with terms allowing the wholesaler to avoid buying, pretty silly stuff.There are several ways to avoid the regulators in all states as to; the ability to buy, the intent to buy, disclosures that devise a listing agreement and advertising or showing a property to be sold.

You could then determine if such an operation would be legal; ensure the appropriate licences and insurance coverage were in place; and arrange a different, more commercial, lease with the tenant to ensure you are appropriately remunerated for the {new} use of your property.   

I'm a general contractor who's also interested in real estate investing but I'm mostly preoccupied with getting my own contracting business off the ground so if you want a licensed contractor to ride shot gun with you when you get to the due diligence stage I'll help you out with home inspections totally free of charge for in property in Winter Garden.  

I have an off market 2 family in malden, a 3 family in everett, and 3 family in east boston i could arrange showings for.

We have worked out an arrangement where I find properties, tie them up under contract, assign the contracts to him , and he puts money in escrow for the repairs.
