A lot of places got caught up in the price run up of 2000 to 2008, but if you look at the price changes prior to that you see little change in prices. 

I am not the professionals listed prior but I would not worry about an S-Corp unless you had an employee IMO.

What he is offering is:-His team will do the due diligence on the title to ensure it's clean-acquire the property from auction with room to make 20-50% profit-provide actual comparables-consultation prior to auctionHe wants a non-refundable payment of $2500 to set up an account and the $2500 per property making it $5000 up front (in addition to actually financing the properties in question).

An applicant who completed the 45-hour salesperson qualifying course prior to July 1, 2008 may complete the 30-hour remedial course in order to qualify for licensure.Real Estate Broker:In order to qualify for licensure as a real estate broker, an applicant must have at least two years of experience as a licensed real estate salesperson or at least three years of experience in the general real estate field (e.g., buying and selling your own property, managing property owned by your employer), have satisfactorily completed both the qualifying salesperson course of 75 hours and an additional 45-hour real estate broker course as approved by the Secretary of State, and have passed a qualifying examination administered by the Department of State.How do I obtain a waiver from the 75-hour salesperson or 120-hour broker course requirement?

At this time, if I were you, I would write them a letter, email, leave them a message, dictating your rental policy as spelled out in your contract.

My former employer, a Canadian brokerage, has trained me well in that and prior to that, been doing cold calling too when i worked with to some US real estate investors. =)

One of the reasons I like real estate is the local influence on prices that at least buffers some of the outside effects of recession & monetary policy.
