can you expound on your comment " they do not want you to have a contract on the property"  how do you get started if your not in contract to buy.. and how is that real in this very fast moving market. ??

I purchased a property with seller financing in the form of a land contract.

I bring a lot of Contracting experience and some money 😎

I then found a news report on Aftermath which makes them look pretty shadyhttp://www.abc2news.com/news/local-news/investigat...Ironically though I was looking through the fine print of the Prestige Worldwide's contract and they specifically highlight mechanical liens in their contract so I feel like they're just as shady.

Thank youIf you ask that colleague: "will you agree to advertise for sale, on my behalf, any property that I get under contract, while it's still owned by someone else, especially if I have no other way of closing on the Contract?"

Or did you at least have the properties under contract?

From my post I am sure you are aware that using contracts to broker in Florida and circumvent licensing law is not legal.

I have bought a lot of smaller multi-family and I will quite often put it under contract before I go look at it because I'm familiar with all of the product available in my area and know what I'm looking for.I don't do that on larger multi-family but I have a good idea of what I'm looking for so I would not go look at it unless it met everything I was looking for on paper and that only happens very rarely.So let me challenge you a bit.

It might be a slow time of year for new leases but we rented an exec rental last year this time---cross country move, being under contract with a new home, etc. and I'm sure there are others going through transitions during this time of year.

I am self employed, but have a full time contract with a GC who also does 1-2 new construction homes a year and owns over 40 rental units.
