@Martine Richardson. I agree with most statements here. I'm licensed in VA and I can tell you that most Listing Agents and Buyer Agents will not know what you're talking about. Can you wholesale MLS deals? Sure... if you have the right contingencies in there!

I think a lot of people feel that because you have your real estate license that it give you a leg up.  It really depends on what YOU want to do.  The one problem I had when I first started out in RE was prospecting.  I think if you prospect long and hard enough for listings you'll come across some awesome pieces of property.  With all that being said, you can essentially do the same thing without a license if you are truly trying to purchase the property for yourself.

Also, where in Loudoun? I use to live in Ashburn up until a year ago today! I'm down in Staunton, VA now.

@Matthew Young welcome my friend!  If you're ever in the Charlottesville area, let me know!

@Patrick Shawn Faherty  my cousins name is Patrick Flaherty.  I don't know why I thought I'd bring up that useless piece of information!!

Have you considered Staunton, VA? about 2.5 hours away from you.

I'm a licensed realtor, and I was wondering if anyone out there had a service that you can mass upload some absentee owner information and get phone numbers.  

@Anita Gee, so as a wholesaler you get payed to solve problems.  If the seller has no more problems(loss of motivation) for you solve SOMETIMES it's best to agree to disagree.  I've never had this happen to me, but you might not want to burn bridges, just my .02 cents.  What you might be able to do is simply follow up as you chase the next deal.  Always stay top of mind.  Perhaps they might run into another problem for you to solve down the road!  Best of luck.  Let us know how this turned out.

@Miki S. I totally understand and agree with your post.  Confidence come from 'knowing'.  If you know what to say and what to do you will become more confident in your abilities.  However as @Derrick McCoy said, you can only prepare so much before experience will kick in.

It's not a bad idea.  You can always market yourself to your friends and family as well.  Let me ask, what are your future plans?  Where do you see yourself, RE or other?

@Russell Brazil great wisdom sir, thank you.  

@Corey Young if it's not too far of a drive for you, I would link up with the guys at CAZA Network in Northern VA. They have a meet up in Reston and Falls Church.

Like @Andrew Michael said, it's a grey area.  How are you currently getting listings?  I would start off with FSBOs.  If you'd like I can send you over some scripts.  Best of luck my friend and awesome beard!
