Impressive to be able to get so established so fast starting out from scratch in a totally new area.I have seen stuff from Steve and really like the Lifeonaire concept.

Not that you can't find a good deal in the MLS but the profit margin for a wholesaler will be much smaller.Second, realtors are a possessive lot that viciously guard their real estate market against "non-licensed professionals."

We're both also interested in obtaining properties and just renting them out, but in order for that to happen we have to be able to obtain a mortgage on the property, or pay cash outright so I feel that to be better off as something for the future when we are more established and comfortable in Real Estate.

Many of you know that in Washington State there is a law is that says if you want resell a property within a year at least one of the property owners has to be a licensed and bonded contractor.

Are you a licensed broker?

You could put the whole $20k down on 1 $80k home.The number of properties is insignificant without establishing your other goals first.

They might discuss a claim against the seller with an attorney.Sounds like you want to be a buyer's agent if you can't buy something, do you have a license?

Go take some RE agent class and start off with some real RE knowledge, you don't need to get a license, but you could, to make money while keeping your job.

My name is Ryan Russell and I have been a licensed RE agent/broker since 2003.

I recently got my license but still have a full time job.
