This is my first trip lending on a deal, but I've run plenty of corporate A&D transactions at work and this was normal course of business.

But I have 2 other rental properties, 2 schedule C businesses, and bank accounts and credit cards to match, and I want to be able to import transactions and manage everything all in one place, instead of having a completely separate spreadsheet based bookkeeping system for the house I live in. 

@Alan Ford  If there is something so secretive about this transaction that you can't disclose the details, you've already blown it by mentioning it on a forum. 

Plus new agents are assigned a local mentor as well who is required to work through the first three transactions with them, regardless of whether they join a team.  3.

I am interested in investing in Class B/C value add syndication transactions but have not short-listed submarkets yet. 

In Illinois, the statehouse passed SB1872 just last year, which amends the Illinois Real Estate License Act to require brokers licenses for wholesale transactions.

I love the transaction side of the business AND the investment prospects. 

Having multiple layers of middlemen ear up any spread you may have.Dual representation is when the list agent representing the seller also represents the buyer.In a double closing (which there are two types of), the purchase transaction between the buyer and seller is A-B and then a day or two later, the transaction between you party B and your end buyer (party C) closes.

I’m currently in the middle of a transaction, but if everything goes as planned I should be in the market for another house hack by Q3.

We paid for this deal out of a HELOC on our primary for ease of transaction with plans to Pull a HELOC on the investment after essential repairs were completed.
