Getting a license does not facilitate my objective.

To wholesale deals you really need to be the expert in the room to justify you acting to facilitate the deal, that includes the ability to value the property.

Could the closing attorney the bank uses for closing be used to help facilitate & understand the process?

This also backfires on investors who approach a seller and through their marketing, structuring the deal, setting up or selecting the originator, perhaps selecting the loan servicer and settlement agents, they are no longer the "average borrower" they become the facilitator of the transaction.

If there are no agents involved on either side and you and the seller have come to terms that you agree upon and just want to have an agent facilitate the transaction for you, many times you can find an agent to write up the contracts for the terms you have agreed upon for a discounted rate since the agent will not have to do many of the duties they would normally do on a deal (marketing the property, showing the property, negotiating, etc).I hope this is helpful.

That definitely could work and being upfront with the seller about that isn't necessarily bad------it's just a more difficult route to take and because you really don't know for sure that's what's going to happen in that way, I think it's unnecessary.Most even motivated sellers want to sell to the guy actually buying the property ----and you are the necessary facilitator.

A facilitator will charge their fee on top of that.If you are eligible for a Solo 401k, that is often the best route to go.

This would be used to facilitate any investments that I may be interested in and allow me better access to the marketplace.

Well done Jay, Cam, your conflict of interest question......the listing agent becomes a transactional broker or acts in a similar capacity, they facilitate the transaction but only represent the seller.

Do you mean facilitating the transaction or actually purchasing one?
