You have to remember too that this is one of the hottest markets in the country, so the amount of wholesale calling that is happening daily here is assinine!

I have already made it my goal to get licensed this summer. so now I just need to consider which path I take, the agent path or the wholesaler path, however you sure do make the agent path sound very appealing.

They show up with a local attorney in our state claiming the same thing they did before and sent a legal letter to our company claiming they have ownership and then filed an affidavit with our local country to state they have claim to the properties and block anyone else while at the same time claiming they still want to close BUT now they want an additional inspection.  

If I could rent it, then refinance it and do it over again, I thought my path forward was clear.
