Or is this a hypothetical question that has you preemptively seeking an answer?

Seek the advice of a competent real estate attorney as you move forward.

My current  property manager is not performing as I'd like.  Looking for a reliable property management company in Virginia Beach VA.Referrals appreciated.  :)

People then started to seek me out.I refused to charge money because we are all supposed to help each other so I did it for free.This lasted 7 months... more and more people were seeking me out.

Hello,My husband and I are seeking to connect with a real estate agent in or near Oshkosh WI. 

@Jibril Walker Great to see you walk down this path to seek success.

Rather than buying based on cap rate, you should be buying based on the returns you are seeking, whatever that is.

You can absolutely run afoul of securities laws if NOT done correctly... that said, there are always funders out there looking for more business who are licensed themselves and regularly pay people for referrals whereby THE FUNDER orchestrates and controls the note transaction properly while the referral agent stays outside the transaction.The big key for a new note person looking to break in should, I think, go this route by concentrating on the MARKETING end, seeking out and finding private note sellers.

Try to do as much as you can yourself, learn why you are doing what you are doing, then you can seek help from there.Note that magic is not in the website. 

You should be able to determine which one you like then seek advice from there.
