This draft is just that, a draft, I'm not too worried about it, and if it goes into law, there are always work arounds.

in all states in the US the way wholesaling IE assigning contracts is taught its simply a violation of the licensure laws.. what happens Is some states could care less so the guru's sell courses to these folks convince them that equitable interest works.. but its up to each state to determine if they want to enforce their licensure laws.Oregon is one that is starting to go after folks that market properties they don't own.. same with Ohio  and FLA and some others..NB being a very small market has not really been talked about on BP.. but your correct the bottom line Is folks need to talk to the regulators not an attorney.. attorneys in these instance are paid to argue.. 

I know laws have changed regarding that.Unfortunately I can only afford a 250-350 home, which I know isn't much. 

I have also noticed that many retirees also are mom and pop investors.My full-time job is in law enforcement, and while I love real estate, I would prefer to not work in it full-time as of right now.

Megan Law data base.

We are over a month past our moveout date (I looked into GA law and it states the landlord has one month to return the check) and we have not received any sort of response or a check.At the end of the day, he still owes us over $1,300 regardless of how he handles our dispute to the charges.

There are some basics, but it's mostly educating yourself about tenant landlord law, tenant screening, and management.

@John Thedford  could probably give a little more detail as he is pretty up to speed on what is allowed by law in FLA

I would also pay for a review and meeting especially this year with the new tax laws.

Nothing is very new in real estate the laws were laid down years ago and pretty much the same.. couple concepts.. buy low sell high.rent for more than your all in costs.get a license and broker real estate for a career.get a mortgage license and help others get funding get an apprasiers license and get paid to evaluate properties and write reports.Work as a property manager and get paid to manage.ETc ETc For courses you may wish to take.. simply go to e bay and buy most every guru's courses for 25 to 50 bucks each go through the tapes and books you will find most of the information highly redundant because nothing is new there is only so many ways to skin the RE cat..
