For example, some of my keyword alerts include "Canada", "Ontario", "Toronto", "GTA".

I too have been loving BP for information and am getting back into the investing realm 😉 just finishing my RE license here as well and networking with other like-minded people.

It is time for me to finally be able to post my first success story.I just finished rehabbing my first investment property, and I’m currently going through the process of placing my first tenant.I believe that my process was a bit unconventional, and may help other first-timers (Either by giving them some ideas on what to do, or if everyone hates my process, what not to do!)

I would agree that if your only reasoning is to gain MLS access than its probably not worth it but as a current wholesaler I would think you could expand your business with your license and not necessarily have to get into representing buyers and seller aside from your investors, which includes the resell side commissions for your investors who could use you for the sales on the tail end of their flips projects along with purchasing the deals you find for them on the front end.

There's an art to it, but a good finisher can almost blend those stains away - but you will have to have a dark floor. 

I am finishing up getting my RE license, and want to start working some transactions.

@Victoria Creighton, My understanding is that the pro-rata rule applies to ALL IRAs with pre-tax funds, including rollover IRAs.  

The other one that fell through had a judgement filed against the homeowner right after we did the quit claim with the mortgagor and were about to close and redeem the property from the person that bought it at the sheriff sale.That judgement terminated the mortgagor's (and therefore our) ability to redeem that property.The response rate on our marketing campaigns has been extremely low; south of 1%, in fact.Our campaigns include door knocking, leaving notes on doors, as well as mailing the property and new addresses of the owners (when applicable).  

The bureaus will allow payment services to report though so here is a link for the ones that currently report to Experian:https://www.experian.com/rentbureau/rental-reporti...I have heard of Rental Kharma that charges a fee to report just your payment but that doesn't include any payment processing.  

I would like to be included on your distribution list of wholesale deals.
