Nope, there are companies or services that do it for you. You only pick up the phone and order. You don't do the research. These companies have been in business for a while and insure the information. Check out myNHD.com or PropertyID.com

Ah, so it really comes down to what your goals are. Are you looking for cash flow or appreciation? 4-8 units is easy to hit in cities that will not likely have appreciation vs cities that may be growing and have some appreciation associated with it. Start macro with your goals and abilities ($$$) then back into the problem. You can message me if you want to discuss further.

@Chris Murdien I can't speak to the State of TX, but in California a license is absolutely required. There is a misconception about wholesaling, you need to have it under contract to purchase and assign your rights, or you are taking a small bird dog fee. You cannot negotiate, nor act in the capacity of an agent, at least in the State of CA. I'm sure other states have similar laws as this is very common. Now, why get your license. Because you will learn everything you are trying to do, make massive amounts of connections through the creation of your network and others, and get a solid education.

you don't buy proof of funds, you have them or you don't. Not sure what you mean.

You are also not presenting all the information on your listing. Don't summarize, be specific. Give details. Disclose everything you can, always. Last, if you are going to play in this space, just go get your license. It will be worth it to you.

@Charlie Moore based on your responses to the last 2 posts, you don't really understand what it is. Go back and review @Maximilian Glodde example. This is tax code so you need an accountant regardless. If you are looking for tools and education, spend $1200 and take the CCIM CI101 course. Prob be the best thing you ever did for your real estate financial literacy.
