Same with CPAs that form LLCs (which is arguably unlicensed practice of law).

I'm assuming, other than that, you are an employee with the non-profit, a piece worker, or an unlicensed comtractor, at least in CA laws.Anyway, setting that aside, the hard truth is, it is very hard for investors to trust someone who has only experience to offer, track record or not.

I've been working as an architect (unlicensed) for the past 8 years as well as having been a project manager through construction on various projects.

Acting as an unlicensed contractor is every investor's pet peeve.  

(ah, the lessons learned from failure...)Question 1 - What can an unlicensed person do as far as property management goes?

Wayne  some one posted U tube video's of a  lawyer interviewing the regulators at the state of OHIO... they specifically talk about this and specific contract language.. and EM deposits etc... any of what you describe would invalidate the transaction in their eyes and they would look at whoever is the principal is or buyer... and determine they are acting as RE agents in an unlicensed capacity and subject to civil fines and such.Every RIA in the US should do exactly what the OHIO attorney and RIA rep did and interview the states RE regulators so any one interested in wholesaling will understand what is permissible and what is not.

I'm not sure what your experience level is, but I am looking for licensed and unlicensed assistants in certain markets, include PG.

In the city of atlanta you have to be very careful not to be running an unlicensed rooming house.  

Certainly the more one acts like a principal in a transaction, the less likely a regulatory authority is to consider it unlicensed brokering.
