There are so many MLS sites, which one is THEE one? I'm in Ohio. I'd like to know which is the legit national site and which is the legit Ohio site. Also, how much does it cost to get access to the MLS WITHOUT a license? Everything has a price.

Are there any Ohio real estate lawyers in here who know the investing ropes and perhaps even have experience working with real estate investors?

Hey Sean, thanks for the feedback! I couldn't tell you about any of those flip shows, don't watch much tv. I've never worked with a lawyer before and I was brought up to believe they make a lot of money. I'm sure I'll find a good one and everything will work out the way it does when it all works out.

@ Darrin Carey - I'm all for effective team work, but because I am just starting out, I have no idea how much it costs to have these people on my team and I don't want to spend money where I don't need to. Once I've done a few deals and experience for myself that wholesaling is a stable and nice income, then I'm sure I could afford all the team members and even more.

Thank you Marry and Darrin for the feedback! Much appreciated!

I'm just starting out as a wholesaler in Ohio. I plan on doing out-of-state deals also as I've learned that can be done, you know, without setting foot in a property. I've read that it's good to have an attorney on my "team", is this mandatory? Apart from picking their brain, is it to handle all of the closings? I read that in Ohio, a title company handles the closings, so if I find a title company, I don't really need to hire an attorney, right? As for inspecting the properties, I understand that this is to figure out repair estimates to factor into my offers and save my cash buyers/rehabbers/investors time and money, but I found a really good software to calculate all that for me, so I don't really need to hire an inspector or appraiser as using rehab offer calculator and rei autocomp softwares will save everyone time and money, right? Lenders are a different story. I would seek to have a good one on board, just in case. Last, but not least, if I do a deal out of state, would I use the same Ohio title company or would I find a title company in the state that the property is located in? I hope I didn't overwhelm you!
