Even having the MLS access to see disclosure documents and agent-only comments could sway you one way or another on moving forward.Finally - if you don't or can't service someone but want to refer them to another agent (in or out of state), you can get a referral fee back (negotiable % usually in the 20%-30% range) to help offset those fees.

At a minimum, (imo) this would require disclosure that the “wholesaler” believes the property is worth more than he is paying the seller and hopes to make a quick profit, and (usually) that if he can’t sell for a profit then he won’t consummate the transaction.  

(copy/pasting from other thread full disclosure - sorry always seems odd to me not doing original composition LOL)@Samia Moughanni - Hi Samia!

.- Tax reporting is a pain, they haven't sent great records of capital gains/losses and I'm doing it myself.My disclosures: I'm about an 800 note investor, these thoughts above are my own.

The only advantage I can imagine would be that you wouldn't need a real estate agent to view vacant properties.You would have to include a disclosure every time you bought or sold a property.

Ok, full disclosure here -- I am a part time Realtor, part time novice investor, and full time Tech nerd.

Full disclosure - I'm one of the co-founders of RentMonitor.

You could also search county records in disclosure states.

In full disclosure, I've never taken a hard money loan, in part because I don't flip houses (I'm a buy-and-hold investor) and I find hard money terms hard to stomach.

Promotional disclosure - I am in the business of selling professional services to real estate investors like yourself and completely understand it is not an easy task to find a trusted advisor to bring on as a team member.
