One doesn't allow business accounts dealing with crypto, one wouldn't allow a LLC account for retirement funds, and another wouldn't open a business account "because it's not a business".

@Steven Rago legally, whoever shows the property has to be a licensed agent.You can try to play games with that and have a handman allow "access", but it's a BIG risk.So that leaves agents & PMCs.You have two choices with agents:1) Pay per showing: since any agent can show a property, find the cheapest.2) Pay Listing Fee: typically 1 month of rent to put in MLS and place a lockbox so any/all agents can show.We do NOT recommend allowing agents to screen applicants - it's a conflict of interest!

Starting my wholesale journey right now :)I have some experience in buying real estate for rentals and flips.As a rule I made for myself, I won't work in areas where I know crime levels are high and are generally low income areas, becasue I know how hard it is to sell them (if its a fix & flips) or rent them.Nowadays I'm looking into starting my wholesale business and was curious about that...Does it matter for the cash buyers?
