I understand your concern , I'm a REALTOR in California, and I'm looking to start a Real Estate investment business. I have access to a lot of potential short sale deals, and properties in general, I'd like to try to buy some of these properties , But don't have the funding I need to Close the deals. The issue here in. California
Is the funds to close will need to come from transactional funding, which I'm having an issue finding. Does anyone know of any legitimate transactional lenders. I'm willing to provide any of my services in exchange for some help/ mentoring in getting one of these deals completed.

@Sean James My best understanding is that if you do more than 7 deals a year (buy/sell property and/or notes) which are secured by a deed of trust, you will need a license and therefore need a sponsoring broker. So deals 0-6 are fine to wholesale. I would still have a credible RE attorney on your team to make sure all legal issues are addressed.
@Larry Echavarria If funding is the challenge, I would seek a hard money lender (HML) or partner up with another investor. If it's a good deal and you run numbers correctly, HML's and investors would be interested.

best to get your license so there are no issues, that is what I did. So far I have closed on 2 deals and rehabbed them both (one rented, not sure if flipping or renting 2nd one yet) and will wholetale/wholesale/BRRRR deals I find based on how much cash I have available. My Broker is fine with everything and we are actually working together on my non investor leads, he is going to list them and split profits with me. We have had a couple conversations with CAR legal to confirm legalities.
