Post: ISO SoPi/Pinehurst Attorney/Agent for a lease option / FRoR

I've got an old SF teammate who just bought a house in Cameron last year and in typical Army fashion is PCS'ing back to Ft Campbell this summer. He's going to do a lease & option / first right of refusal, and i'm looking to square him away with a good RE attorney or agent in the southern pines/pinehurst area who's familiar with NC real estate law pertaining to those transactions.
Any recommendation is greatly appreciated!

@David Washington Aside from Ohio being one of the toughest states on "wholesalers", to do so with a license is a 'net listing' which is either illegal or highly discouraged in most states, and i would be willing to bet Ohio is one of them. You can go around asking brokers in your area if they'll allow it, most of them are not only going to say no, but now you've put yourself on their radar as someone who likes to do shady business.
If you want to be an agent, get your license and make money listing/selling homes. If you come across deals good enough to "wholesale", let the seller know you can list the home for X as their agent, or buy the home cash for Y. Then simply find the cash at your local REIA groups to buy it and turn around and sell it to a rehabber..also known as actual wholesaling.

@Account Closed Its the Renatus multi-leveling marketing garbage. They sign you up, they get paid. You sign other people up, you get paid. They apparently provide a real estate "education" (re: guru) .. and THEN they take a large cut of all your deals. Since the keyword is in this post, I would expect the Renatus kool-aid drinkers will be chiming in here shortly.
I pull up all their signs..just on principle.

Looking for some input on REIBlackbook as a webhost / CRM!
I want a user friendly plug and play CRM that does all the nerderific stuff behind the scenes without me having to "code" it myself (Podio / Globiflow)
My current set-up costs me more time messing with it, than it saves (InvestorCarrot, Podio, Gravity Forms, Zapier etc..)
Looking for all positive/negative feedback on REIBlackbook.

"Homeowners will lose millions in equity" Do they mean more than the 6% agents steal?? lol kidding but..
If you think you're going to stop technology like this from advancing, you're delusional. The free market will decide if Zillow's service is feasible. It's simple, If people feel like they're getting screwed over, they won't use it.
I would offer that the more you fight it, the more antiquated you appear. Maybe start up www.StopAmazon.com to save the mom and pop stores while you're at it..
Adapt or die.

While i agree that Zillow "Zestimates" are garbage, and the site is generally terrible.. If you for one minute think that the technology is going to slow down, you're going to have a tough time in the coming years. We already see virtual stagings, 3D floor plans.. how far off do you think virtual showings are? How long do you think it'll take until they get the algorithm to account for updates and become pretttty accurate? Once they get it right, how long do you think it'll take before a younger generation realizes they don't need to cough up 6% of their homevalue to agents when it can all be done online?
If anyone thinks that this trend will die off or reverse.. you're in for a rude awakening. Adapt or die.
