Brokers get worried dealing with the fine line between personal business and using the name of the brokerage to get ahead as an agent. 

I Would half to get a head count and see if that would be beneficial for the whole group.

And, if it still looks good on paper with the higher reserves and the higher numbers, then I would say go ahead and continue with the process, but make sure you are going into it knowing what business you are getting into and what that business model entails.

It can help you get ahead, but it can break you if you're wrong.

I almost have enough money to buy a private island now but I guess I'll go ahead and stick with the real estate investing idea.From what I've hear BP seems to be a great community and I look forward to contributing. 

so a while back i asked about laws governing realtors who wholesale as well. there was a lot of responses so i figured i would go ahead and ask the South Carolina Real Estate commission what there position is on the subject.This is basically what i got back (nothing edited) its kind of long. 

Great for you for looking ahead...you are a step ahead of most.  

I'm sure everyone here is many steps ahead of me in realizing the vast quantity of people and entities looking to scam the living daylights out of the would-be investor. 

I went ahead and joined the group and hope to attend Sept's meeting.

I apperciate the feed back ahead of time!
