You can be licensees in as little as 3 weeks, and if teaming up with a good team, can be making 6- figures in your first year, and usually double your income each year after.It’s even much more lucrative than what real estate agents make.Lastly, it’s much valuable knowledge to a real estate investor to understand the numbers, Loan guidelines, income docs.Don’t get me wrong, real estate agents have a hard job, and I would never cut it as one.

When all goes well things are good. 10 years ago, Investors enjoyed working with good wholesalers who would actively scout the properties desired and do all of the leg work.Over time, the ability to get involved with little or no skin in the game, the ability to make a lump sum of money quickly, and a plethora of bad information made available by people who were only after the disposable income of those who really did not have enough money to get involved in higher level RE took a good tool and exploited it.Wholesalers exploiting undereducated layman (someone who does this exclusively for a living is operating as an Agent with no licensing issues to restrain them or cause them to disclose expert status), using a lot of really distasteful tactics (like trying to wholesale deals already on the MLS, co wholesaling through a string of folks) and getting greedier and greedier as they went....That's where the stink came from. 

The MLS is just a tool, the issue is the market.
