My father has been in the real estate brokerage business for about 40 years and he has taught me a little bit.  

More access (and easier access) to comps so you can get more info on how to flip (what is valuable in a certain neighborhood and what houses have sold for recently)The downfall again is probably cost of obtaining the license and maintaining it (fees plus continuing ed) and I would imagine if you were working with a Brokerage, you would be losing a percent through them.

I am a licensed RE Broker/Agent with access to most of the sites that push RE.

My goal for the year is to at least have this FHA Loan per-approved, while working as a assistant for this local brokerage that's hiring to save up for the down payment.

Don't say you're going to focus on brokerage services when in reality you're just going to do your own investing.

Many brokerages charge a flat fee in addition to a commission.  

Some states view it as Brokerage (because there's one party on each end of the transaction) and require an Agents license - - ergo RISK.Some REI people don't want to operate a rental - - it's too much of a commitment when wholesaling is in-and-out quickly.I prefer Buy&Hold where I can have a constant cash-flow.

Attn TN Wholesalers & Realtors...Has anyone ever heard of laws in TN (laws that are actually in the books) that say realtors are not allowed to buy and or sell a house, "for sale by owner", outside of their brokerage?
