@Victoria Mataafa We have one LLC per State where we wholesale, with a local (to that state) registered agent.

LegalZoom helps you establishing LLCs with registered agents in different states.

I don't recommend wholesaling or any real estate strategy without an LLC. :)

@Cristina Enriquez It's not essential to becoming an investor. There are pros and cons about having a license. I am not licensed, but my mother, who has been an investor for over 30 years, has been licensed for over 20 years.

This is an excerpt from an article that we wrote about the pros and cons about having a license, based on our own experience:

Pros:

Access to the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) – there is a lot of information that can be obtained from the MLS: comparables, cash buyers lists, expired listings, motivated sellers, etc. From time to time, properties will be listed and sold through the MLS. It is easier if you are an agent yourself and you don't have to rely on another agent to do this for you.

Credibility – licensed agents have to follow the ‘code of ethics’ from their board of realtors in order to be allowed to practice without any problems. Being licensed qualifies the investor as a ‘professional’, who knows the real estate rules and applicable laws.

Commissions – when properties are purchased that are listed in the MLS, there will be commission paid to the buyer's agent. If the buyer/investor is also an agent, that commission will go to him/her. And once you list the property as a ‘listing agent', you have to pay only half the commission to the cooperating ‘selling agent', who represents the buyer.

Networking – there are opportunities to network with other real estate professionals through licensed agents only meetings. The more people you know in the business, the more people you can tell you are looking for property. Sometimes the best deals are those that are brought to you, not the deals you find yourself. Let everyone know you are looking for investment properties and you never know what will come up. Agents, and other real estate professionals, like title companies, once they know that you are an active investor looking for properties, they will let you know when they have a lead on properties that are not even listed on the MLS.

Cons:

Disclosures – full clear disclosure must be done to buyers/sellers that you are a licensed agent; you can’t “knowingly take advantage” of a buyer/seller; etc. Investors some times have to walk a gray line in real estate investing as they are trying to negotiate the best deals for themselves, but at the same token being in full disclosure compliance. That is why a lot of real estate investors do not want a real estate license.

Audits – as a real estate professional licensed by the State licensing board, you are going to go through some random audits. Paperwork must be in order and written record of any closing, money disbursements, investment realty organizational structure, etc. These audits are time consuming and very stressful. They will take a lot of time away from real estate investing (in order to make sure all the files are in order) and there could be penalties involved if not in compliance.

Licensing Course and Continuing Education Classes – in order to get your license as a real estate agent, you have to take a course several hours long, pass tests, and finally the State exam. On top of that every 2 years you have to attend continuing education classes in order to renew the license. Again, this can be time consuming and take precious time away from investing activities.

Liability and Compliance – investors some times have to make decisions and moves that are not in full agreement with the disclosures and compliance of licensed professionals. They are not illegal, but at the same time, it depends how a third party or a court (in a lawsuit) look at the transaction. Therefore real estate licensed investors are more prone to be sued, reported to the real estate commission for negligent acts, regardless if there is good reason or not.

If you are new to real estate investing or have not really built a thriving wholesaling business yet, you might be thinking that the competition is hard nowadays, or you cannot find good deals. The good news is that it is not true.

I have been wholesaling since 1987. I have done it pretty much all in the wholesaling arena: local wholesaling, virtual wholesaling, co-wholesaling, assignments. And still today I do 100% of my wholesale business with little to no money and you should too!

In order to succeed you have to understand a few things that will give you the hedge to thrive in wholesaling:

- It's all a matter of perception. In time of crisis, when a door closes, another one (or several) open;
- During this ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the real estate investors who thrive in this business are the ones who improve or reinvent their way to do business;
- For a long time I have been talking about conducting real estate investing as a virtual business. I have personally being doing it for several years and nowadays 99% of my business is virtual.

I have survived and thrived through 3 recessions. I will share with you how I have reinvented myself as an investor (and you can too!) and thrive during economic downturns with real estate investing.

During this online presentation, I will share with you:

- What exactly is wholesaling & how to do it;
- What works today - the 4 core strategies of wholesaling (there are 4 subniches to wholesaling) and how you can capitalize them for real estate investing;
- What makes a good wholesale deal and where to find them - my 3 favorite ways;
- What makes a good "qualified" buyer and where to get him/her;
- The Proven 5 Steps System - Just "Rinse & Repeat" - and how to scale the plan up exponentially and set it up on automated pilot - work smarter not harder;
- How to find your very first deal within the next week and close in less than 1 month;
- How to negotiate and what to say to property owners so you can get them to act now;
- How to build your business so you can do it all over again and set it on automatic pilot;& so much more!

**SPECIAL Update - This presentation has been revised and updated with how to work your real estate investing business through these changing times and how you can thrive and profit even more in the upcoming future!**

THIS EVENT SOLD OUT PRIOR TO THE EVENT LAST MONTH. We accept only a limited number of attendees since I host this event live and I want to make sure I address each question during the presentation.

Would you like to know how to build a profitable virtual real estate business?

It's all a matter of perception. In time of crisis, when a door closes, another one (or several) open.

During this ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the real estate investors who thrived in this business are the ones who improved or reinvented their way to do business.

For a long time I have been talking about conducting real estate investing as a virtual business. I have personally being doing it for several years and nowadays 99% of my business is virtual.

I have been investing since 1987. I have done it pretty much all, from wholesaling to fix and flip, buy and hold, raising private money and more.

I have survived and thrived through 3 recessions. I will share with you how I have reinvented myself as an investor (and you can too!) and thrive during economic downturns with real estate investing.

During this online presentation, I will share with you:

- How to Buy and Sell 1, 3, or 10 houses a month locally and virtually;
- Wholesale, Fix & Flip or Buy & Hold - no matter what your strategy, I will show you how it can all be done with my "silver bullet" approach;
- Finding Deals - clever ways to find properties with very little to no competition and automate the process to create "virtual leads funnels";
- No Money, No Problem - how to secure financing nationwide for all your real estate deals.

If you have been thinking about getting in real estate, this is THE time to do it. And would it be nice to have different options for every deal you come across? Either you can wholesale, fix and flip or buy and hold.

Never leave any "money on the table" again. Where you have a seller, you can have options and different solutions for their properties.

What about funding? Private lenders have NOT stopped lending through all the pandemic. I know several who are eager to loan right now!

They also offer stated income, therefore it's not hard to get 100% financing structured for fix and flip and buy and hold.

2021: what's in store for real estate investing?

-Unique opportunities in real estate;
-Revolutionary and updated marketing strategies;

2020 was definitely an unprecedented year. No one saw what was coming. But the way I look at it, as a long time real estate investor, you have to reinvent yourself and you ALWAYS come out at the top. Even better than before.

We would love to extend this online webinar to EVERYONE and we will share with you some eye-opening information on what is working now and moving forward in 2021.

You NEED to attend this event. Don't waste your time or money with things that don't work any longer. Plus you need to know what is happening in the industry so you can position yourself to gain from the shifts in the market.

During this informal webinar we will share:
-The ABSOLUTE 3 best strategies to get responsive sellers' leads right now;
-The market is SHIFTING - how to deal with buyers and tenants (if you buy and hold?)
-Best GEOGRAPHICAL areas to invest and why;
-FINANCING - where is the money for real estate investors and how to build up a rental portfolio with no bank or conventional financing?

We will also talk about how to set up a VIRTUAL real estate investing business (where you can work from anywhere, even if there is another lockdown,) and the IDEAL action plan if you want:

Would you like to know how to build a profitable virtual real estate business?
