The funds will not be release until a wire transfer is requested by the closing agent.

Lean on your agent, and see what examples he or she can provide.

I'm wondering though, if I market them as lease option/rent to own, will a PM show the property, handle paperwork including the option contract and then manage the property or does that require a real estate agent?

One of them is the listing agent for a few parcels in Doral however they are asking for about 2.2M per acre which is high.

Hi Dylan, I'm glad to hear you didn't get fooled by the mentorship program--all the information you need to be successful is available for free on the internet and through talking with agents, lenders and property managers.

I'm Darrell, an up-and-coming real estate agent/enthusiast in Dothan, AL!

I'm a licensed agent in TX.

An agent can make maybe only $1,500 on a  50k listing for the same amount of work it would take to sell a 500k listing, while a wholesaler can mark it up 5k, 10k or 20k if the price was right. 

I am a licensed agent since 2002 and work in the Staten Island, NY area along with Brooklyn. 

I also do a meetup every Thursday but we are currently doing it virtually and we actually contact agents that have properties for sale so it's an 'active lead gen' type of meet up.
