They consistantly had over a million in business which mean experience, but some are still dumb as a rock that I know, but they sure are pretty....LOLI agree with Charles, I'm more interested in working with people who are business minded who happen to be knowledgable in RE.

Otherwise it can get complicated as you really are putting buyers and sellers together, facilitating sales.You need to read your state statutes very carefully word for word as to what requires a real estate license and then don't do those things if you don't have a license.You can be an employee or memebr in a LLC that buys or sells, as a principal, in other words if BAC LLC buys a property and you are a memeber of BAC LLC, you can then be entitled to profits for the work you perform in that LLC.Another way is for you to take an option to buy and then sell your option, this is placing you in a position of havine an interest in the transaction, but those you sell to may have financing issues with this, it also depends on property restrictions or title limitations as beeing seen as sales during a restriction to conveyances, again check and see how these issues are viewed locally.Generally, you can not act as a third party between a buyer and seller and simply arrange or introduce deals and be paid a fee independly as that is a function of a real estate agent/broker.Lastly, it's easy to get a bad reputation amoung Realtors if you're known as a birddog, they will likely see you as unlicensened competiton and expect them to complain and report your activities.

Curious if this property was listed and if so who is the servicing company or the company the REO agent reports directly to.As a tactic: 1.

Joshua Dorkin - the courses I've taken haven't been related to wholesaling, but include John Schaub on rentals, Bill Bronchik on partnering, and Susan Lassiter-Lyons on joint venturing.My previous investing career consisted of rentals - three-plex, duplex, single fam, mobile home.

Note: make sure that this is consistent with your local/state law as there may be additional requirements and/or differences.

The salesperson was trying really hard to sell me on a faster dsl speed, which I consistently refused.

If that happens, I want to be able to enjoy not having a j-o-b in the sense that I report in at a certain time every day to a boss who may or may not like me or my work.

In my market, properties are consistently going above list price these days, and 50% earnest money is not going to help if your offer isn't among the highest.As an example, there was a property I put in an offer in on last week -- it was listed at $50K.

Our $99 bundle of internet, phone and tv quickly gets jacked up to $129 due to taxes and use fees, call waiting, caller id and a minor upgrade of the tv channels (if I hadn't upgraded my entire tv lineup would have consisted of local programming, public access and spanish channels).

Already surprised as it was supposed to be no income verification, no credit report, no appraisal, no qualifications other than 12 months of on-time mortgage payments on the property and verification of funds to pay prepaids as not allowed to include in loan balance.
