I would never get into something until all of my ducks are in a row...meaning that I have already established a solid network of investors waiting for my deals (which I have), and having a custom Purchase Agreement with enough contingencies to cover me whether I cannot find an invester to assign my contract to (this is the worse case scenerio)...if it were completely impossible for me to assign my contract, my agreement allows for me to walk away from the deal without any risk to me (although this is not fair to the seller).

Trust me, I'm working feverishly as we speak to find someone who's a bit more established and interested in the deal.

This certainly appears to be an extensive site, with great information.Having held a real estate license and actually worked with a real estate firm some years ago, I do have some knowledge about investing in real estate, but it’s been many years since I’ve actually participated in that field.Let me try to be as brief as possible.

I know the key is to establish a reputation as reliable so I want to be able to come through on a deal with him so that I can establish that relationship.

Hey everyone--I am thinking of going to school to get my real estate license.

The only thing I have heard about not being able to contact an owner is in Maryland where there are some laws stating that you have to have some type of license to work pre-foreclosures.

Or, if there is a lack of data to base additional services on, charge a fee and an hourly rate for unforeseen duties.And, you might double check on up-charging on services that require a license, like a plumber or electrician if you aren't one, that's what general contractors do, I can tell you I've dealt with PMs and they lost, PM activities is not a general contractor relationship, especially when your area may require a license to conduct sub-contracting work

Why not get licensed?

I'm looking to develop partnerships/relationships, attend meetups, anything I can do to learn from more experienced parties and individuals in regard to all aspects personal real estate investment.My wife and I are working diligently to establish real estate as a full time career over the next 3-5 years, and we greatly appreciate your time.

However his stuff had some "help you with foreclosure" language in it that people thought might cross the line of what can be said if you aren't licensed to work with people in foreclosure for those kinds of services.If you just have a general "We Buy Houses" kind of message then you are just junk mail if people don't want to sell you their house.Maybe they don't have any dry cleaning do they call the cops when they get a coupon from the local dry cleaner?
