If there's an opportunity to make a person "feel" something, I want to make sure i've put a creative touch on it.

Stay in touch!

hi takeshia from " elvis country"....lol. wholesaling is a good part of the flipping houses and RE world. however, each state has its laws regarding wholesaling. i would tend to believe a real estate attorney from the area on his or her opinion. i wouldn't say something is illegal if you can get a license to do it, its just illegal to not have the license. then we get into the gray area of exactly what wholesaling is. if you find a seller, and put them in touch with a buyer for their house, you are acting as an agent. without a license, that is illegal. but, if you find a seller, YOU get the house under contract to buy, and put in the contract your right to reassign the contract, that is wholesaling and might NOT be illegal. in that case, you are not acting as an agent because you are not bringing two parties together. you are actually contracting to buy an item, but then exercising your right to sell that contract which does have monetary value. just like a corporation creates a stock certificate and sells it on the stock market, it is just a piece of paper with monetary value that you are selling. please check with at least one other real estate lawyer and explain the process completely. show them how you would not be acting as an agent between buyer and seller but as an actual purchaser looking to sell the asset you have created. that may make the difference. 

If you offered assistance, I will be in touch.  

That's not meant to be insulting to the author in any way, it just doesn't go very deep into how he established his wholesaling and bird-dogging leads nor does it touch on the process of wholesaling or bird-dogging.I did find his analysis of every offer given him a great way to quickly learn from examples how to evaluate a deal.It's a decent read/skim, but not worth more than a couple bucks or hours of your time.

I can make it downtown via bicycle without touching a road for more than 2 minutes faster than anyone can in a car during rush hour.  

Live off your income for the next 5-7 years and never touch your investment money unless it's to roll into another investment. 

I'm not familiar with your market up there, but you should get in touch with some local investors up there that know the multi-family space.

Due to these factors, traditional and local lenders do not want to touch SFR investment properties.  

I explain this to tenants, because some feel they have more rights and power over their roommates, but according to the law they don't.We do not touch the security deposit until a future point in time when all parties have vacated and possession of the unit is returned to us.
