Stick to the basics, gain a foundation of knowledge and build your reputation with your interactions and you won’t need to try to impress people with 10 different cards and ridiculous titles.

I've read a decent amount this morning about what is and isn't legal for bird dogs, but I still haven't got the direct answer I'm looking for...Here is the question: (Indiana)Can I post an Ad on craigslist looking to hire a part time 'Market Surveyor' with job duties that include: Taking a picture of a distressed property, writing down the address and observations (without stepping onto the property or speaking with the owner), and submitting that information to my email.The BD will not be interacting in any way with the Home Owner... which means they won't be getting the house under contract.Here is what I found in the Indiana RESPA:1) Code 25-34.1-3-2 "no person shall, for consideration, sell, buy, trade, exchange, option, lease, rent, manage, list, or appraise real estate or negotiate or offer to perform any of those acts in Indiana or with respect to real estate situated in Indiana, without a license."

Again, the BiggerPockets store has some books for this or you can learn by watching podcasts, reading blogs, and interacting on the forum.

I've been exploring adult foster homes (AFH) as an investment in Washington state and would like thoughts and input on a sale I'm considering.

Randy Moss, what an AMAZING wide receiver, and complete and total ultra douc-bag of a person in real life, I had the un-joy and un-pleasure of a few interactions with the guy and every time it hit me how much of a supreme D-bag he was to all, most memorable was when he was flipping out at a gas station over paying for a coffee because "don't you know who i am"....

Also, what is the interaction between owner financed land and a 1031 exchange?

It might be the best solution to hand them over to a PM and seize all interactions with them like Scott said.When managing tenants you have to act and communicate like a corporation - I always think of United or Hilton.

You are also going to need to foster relationships with lenders.  

Tenant is a foster parent as well.
