In fact, we have had preliminary talks about partnering up on deals in the near future.I look forward to all of the knowledge and and advice I can gain from this site.Thank you for reading!

This guy was using contracts to broker without a license:https://www.myfloridalicense.com/sto/unlicensedact...Once you get that "badge" it never goes away:)There are hundreds more..and several are under investigation as I write this post for brokering without a license.

Did you already take that into consideration when running your preliminary numbers?

While I was originally "all in" on the idea (relatively low purchase prices, ability to cash in on the "group" market that floods downtown every weekend) I have 2 major concerns after doing some very preliminary research.  

He agreed, and we met a week later over coffee, which was today.After getting to know each other and discussing my intentions with real estate in the future, he agreed to some preliminary seller finance terms

One of them is Bob and for a split second I thought, maybe that's Bob and he forgot the 'B'.I don't have a ton of value to offer on your question however we have investigated getting the real estate license as you are discussing because we are primarily investors. 

I investigated a little bit DUN so far I do not know if it makes any sense to work hard on this.

How to reach an asset manager..Hire a private investigator to find out who they are, what office they work out of and the name of their executive secretary.Have the investigator find out what organization(s) or clubs the manager belongs to, show up at one of their meetings as a true believer who has fortuitiously "bumped into them".Try sending a big bouquet of flowers to the executive secretary along with a singing telegram person who will deliver your message and hand him or her some ballons and a bottle of good wine with your compliments and business card.

OK, back to more investigation then.

I'm trying to do some preliminary research (good areas to live, high appreciation areas) but it is very hard without being there.
