I"m guessing the extra investment properties would out way the cost.  

Not sure I count as an "OG" but I can aspire to such heights I guess.

I would guess the broker is offering a standard appraisal price, but something like this would typically cost a bit more than a standard appraisal. 

The only thing I guess is if you cant sell the home then you head for the hills or you are using that " subject to partner or 3rd party approval "  card trick.You might want to approach sellers from a different angle. 

Personally, I found that the 100% online school (which had been recommended to me by an investor-broker) fit my learning style best, and didn't feel like the afterthought of a school that really wants to get you in their classroom.I'm not familiar with Illinois law, but I'm guessing you don't currently have a brokerage where you're working?  

The only things missing I see are the fees for your closing cost which I would guess to be around $3,500-$4,000.

I guess I'm not smart enough to learn how to edit post.

MLS is based on realtor input... and I'd guess that 99.9% of the time realtors would only submit 'close' information after recording was complete. (1) Move, Inc 10-K(2) Zillow 10-K

Close on one or more and I'd guess the almighty state regulators will not bother you... but this is an excellent test of Ohio RE boundaries regarding 'wholesale' ...

I guess I should be happy that there is a reluctance to invest in OK.
