My initial intent with rentals WAS/IS to buy myself a job that I control. 

Talk to the investor, find out what their intentions are, you may find that they bring a lot to the table to make everyone's world a better place.

So content is still #1... and you do still need the page to be content relavant to the searches you're looking to rank for (don't stuff the page w/ that keyword... but use variations of the phrase that show the same searcher intent... i.e. - that theyr'e looking to sell their house quickly). 

My intentions for joining BP is to learn as much as I can before jumping into my first deal. 

Just to be clear, I don't have any intention of doing anything illegal or unethical w/ my REI business....I was just trying to be creative and looking for an interpretation as to whether it would pass the rules.I know I can lend private money to others (and probably will once I set up my SDIRA).  

Thanks for the input Neil, ill give that one a shot and see what its like.

I am not tied to the MLS, in fact I am willing if need be to turn my license in, because I am still wondering how ethical it is for an agent to be talking to a distressed owner with the intent to buy the property.  

When you fix n flip your intent from the day you take title to the property is to sell that property.  

I wouldn’t have any intention to buy at the moment even though I will only look at properties which I could actually put a down payment right now (if that makes sense).

Its almost as if they are certified REO brokers who tell the banks "yeah ill go ahead and give you that much If I can have it right now!"
