Wolfe, I am Mojid a Newbie to the BP Forum, I have quite an interest in getting into real estate, however one of my biggest drawback has been a lack of funding and seeing your accomplishment by talking with the owner, I was wondering how often do you see that happening in the market where the property owner allow you to pay it off or rent to own is the appropriate term

in all states in the US the way wholesaling IE assigning contracts is taught its simply a violation of the licensure laws.. what happens Is some states could care less so the guru's sell courses to these folks convince them that equitable interest works.. but its up to each state to determine if they want to enforce their licensure laws.Oregon is one that is starting to go after folks that market properties they don't own.. same with Ohio  and FLA and some others..NB being a very small market has not really been talked about on BP.. but your correct the bottom line Is folks need to talk to the regulators not an attorney.. attorneys in these instance are paid to argue.. 

I’m a young real estate investor in Portland, Oregon & I’m looking to build a network of investors in this market for the purpose of sharing ideas & experiences as well as support each others goals.I currently own two units & I absolutely devour everything BP has to offer but I lack the network of lIke minded, experienced Individuals that is needed to thrive in thIs business.

He simply stated that these were pass through expenses or damages incurred by us.

It will be difficult for you to find sellers willing to do this, and when you find one it may simply be that they don't understand.Think Twice before taking this up as a line of work.

It’s simply misusing/ mistreating the property.

I simply can't imagine making an offer without being able to see the interior of the property first.

I plan on simply buying stock windows myself at lowes, home depot, or menards and then have my contractor install them for me. 

@Alex Babayev You're asking us to make an over generalized assessment based on a lack of the primary information most investors use when considering a building.

Nothing is very new in real estate the laws were laid down years ago and pretty much the same.. couple concepts.. buy low sell high.rent for more than your all in costs.get a license and broker real estate for a career.get a mortgage license and help others get funding get an apprasiers license and get paid to evaluate properties and write reports.Work as a property manager and get paid to manage.ETc ETc For courses you may wish to take.. simply go to e bay and buy most every guru's courses for 25 to 50 bucks each go through the tapes and books you will find most of the information highly redundant because nothing is new there is only so many ways to skin the RE cat..
