its not their scheme to assign every deal.Same thing when I was funding deals in Orlando that wholesale company ( which since went out of business because the deals dried up) they were licensed .. they were to big to fly under the radar.State of Oregon - Real Estate AgencyFrances Hlawatsch | Financial InvestigatorBest regards,Thank you again for the information, if I have further questions for you during the investigation I will certainly reach out.The Agency is well aware that unlicensed “wholesalers” are rampant in our jurisdiction.

Unlike having your safety net money sitting in a savings account "earning" 0.2%, you can use the HELOC as emergency money and it doesn't cost you anything.If your goal is to generate cash flow to retire on in 10 years you won't get that via $100-$200/mo in cash flow on SFR in fly over country.

The truck is a fly in the ointment.
