Are you putting your license at risk working with unlicensed wholesalers?

Do your activities rise to the level of being a broker such that you need to get a license or else risk "brokering without a license" charges?

Also, there is a massive risk around concentrating your finances with one company.

Granted, tertiary markets have their own risks, but like all risks, understand and account for them in your financial planning and they can managed.I'm open to investments anywhere and am actively trying to build partnerships for larger deals where ever they are.  

I've always gone the turnkey route (out-of-state from CA as well), partially to avoid that risk, but partially because I just don't want to deal with it.

The $12 per month will make up in the long term if a claim ever has to be made.Sad to say the weather patterns are changing rapidly and we are in Tornado Alley, as well as we have pretty decent hail storms with great risks of repeat flooding in some areas.

Secondly people calculate risk at a premium.

Bottom line, decide on your engagement and risk level first, and then look for an investment type that suits your needs best!

Cash flow is just one part of real estate investing. having a mortgage certainly makes you mitigate more risk, but it can be used to make a LOT LOT LOT more moneythat's why it's called 'leverage'

Am I confusing something or would my personal house be at risk?
