My goal is to become, investor and 8a certification to boost myself but looking to get into my first flip really soon. 

the attorney then tried to read my friend the original contract (without the addendum) - sneeeeaaaakkkyyyy...the moral of the story - first, my friend who invested in this property - probably should have paid more attention to the C/o situation himself.NEVER RELY ON ANYONE SOLELY.

So what your saying is these people Im talking with probably arent deals, and that by wasting my time with them I am running down my own morale.

I spent everything I had in 2014 and anticipated spending 2015 fixing up the properties I purchased and boosting rents.

It's mostly bonds with about 20% stocks to give it a little boost.

Moral of the story, as I said, this is NOT a good deal.

A ton of new construction may boost stock prices for those companies, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the actual real estate market is better.

I'm studying the material, but only to educate myself.After reading J Scott's book and chatting with other investors I've learned that having a license can (in some ways) hold you back as an investor since you are held to a certain moral code of conduct as a Realtor...so, I'm taking his approach to it.His wife got the license, and he stayed without one...at least for a while...I believe he has one now possibly :-)Also, which course are you taking?

What are my "reputational"/moral obligations- What if I make an offer and then they accept months later and I cannot perform?

@Clayton MillerTo Tim's point if you house hack a property would will start to reduce your expenses and supplement your income and that would help boost your RE career.
