im 23 and have 11 properties. might try building a relationship with someone at a local bank. since they tend to keep loans in house, they don't have to follow as many gov't regulations.

So as long as you have equitable interest you don't need one but you do want to contact a qualified RE lawyer especially one familiar with investing and see what laws there are concerning wholesaling as each state has certain rules you need to follow such as Pennsylvania and their transfer tax rule.Second as far as venture capital you might want to check state and federal security regulations on this as you probably need to be SEC reg'd and have a PPM in place in order to secure venture capital.

Where to find state laws and regulations regarding bandit signs, wholesaling, and other REI notices??

I'd look at places at say 75,000 population + but not innercity over 200,000, personal thing, I hate traffic for one thing, but you also get more competition, lose that small bank relationships, generally have more metro regulations, health and building code issues and it's much harder to get into an influencial positions in the community, you may only get to be a small fish in a big pond.

I knew it was comming, the CFPB is introducing regulations for anyone who is not an accredited investor (less than a Mil in net worth excluding personal assets) for anyone who owns more than three RE properties in any one year and require them to be licensened Realtors or otherwise regulated under a list of exemptions, none of which apply to small investors.

I like that they aren't a regulatory force, meaning they can't impose regulation but they can impose audits.

I haven't even read my first book on it (waiting until Lonnie Scruggs updates "Deals on Wheels," for 2014 regulations), so excuse the confusion, but seller financing would entail buying a mobile home and selling it for little down and monthly installments, correct?

Ahh, Just getting use to buying properties in flood zones and dealing with all the codes and regulations.

Then, you should be able to select the folks you want to work with.Closers and title plants are highly regulated, don't start out with screwy stuff.If you think you know RE and you're getting back in, start with the basics again, see if 43,560 sq. ft. rings a bell.

Definitely not a bad idea to have an attorney In each state that's familiar with any state specific regulations...I've always checked with someone familiar with the states I've had notes for.
