Obviously I'm going to run this business ethically and will not be doing anything illegal but I don't want to leave any loopholes for anyone (attorney or otherwise) to take advantage of.

Unfortunately the downs are the fees, you will have to have a broker and you'll need to make sure he's investor friendly, you will be held to a higher standard because you'll have t follow the code of ethics and responsibilities to the public.

I am surprised that people admit or encourage such activities with such open disregard for ethical conduct.

Ethical?

Get your License and act in an ethical manner.

I know it not the most Ethical thing to do but I go by home depot or lower and get three electrical heaters take them out of the box my self real neat and put them in and plug them up for temp problem call to get the heat fix, some time may end up being on Tuesday if it a part not in stock after they finish I place it back nice and neat in the box as I got it and take it back to Lowes or home depo.

There is no ethical or legal reason Not to do this.

Studying for your license also gives you a good basic understanding of terminology, ethics, real estate law, title, etc.

I will follow through on any promises/contracts, that are made prior to working.Basically, I am looking for some part-time work, at a decent wage (willing and able to do work for free, in lieu of the amount of experience that I get out of it.).I thought about checking out the CREI group meeting, but I don't know if I would get a realistic response from people, since those meetings are a breeding ground for scammers and un-ethical contractors.Thanks for reading!

Both realtors and lawyers have ethics regulations that do not officialy allow them to lie.
