As far as the Realtors license goes. You need it when you need it, only you know that! But to be successful in RE one does not have to have one.

Figure out what your goals are and go with that. Meaning if you need cash then rentals may not be a good option for you at the moment. If you have cash to spare then they may be...just figure out your "what".

Figure out what your system is, then train them for what you need them to do... for that to work. Really no different than you working for an employer, they are just remote.

Depends on what you are trying to accomplish? But to make money as a Wholesaler...there really is no need for it. Do you have Redfin in your area...if so get good at using it for comps.

Great list, but why not just keep it simple and due a "blanket" mailing to one's target zipcodes/neighborhoods. This can include both non-owner and owner, as long as there is equity there to work with or room to add value. Mail, mail, mail and keep mailing that same list. Deals are always in the follow up.

So the question Karen had, pertaining to what side of the existing lot does the house reside...was never answered. Does it reside in the middle or is it off to one side or the other or does it need to be torn down to get the 2 lots? If it is off to a side, how much of a remodel does it need and how much would it then sell for after...thus leaving 1 extra lot?

At 3.4mill and each lot having a value of 1.4-1.7mil...it sounds like retail value here. If you can find a builder who is interested in some off market land at that price, then a "small" wholesale fee may be able to be worked in on your side!!

And this would of course all depend on the actual rezoning and land division going through...just my 2 cents.

As for your Portland comment...yes deals are quite nice up here...shhh

Google it...Just kidding is the land worth 1.5-1.7 for each lot or for the whole lot as is?
