I am not the license police..One thing that our state did though was crack down on Private money lenders those that had pretty big books say 2 to 5 million of personal money out there...

Most of what goes on in wholesaling IE not buying the property just trying to tie it up and assign a contract in my mind and I think most states if taken to the mat is acting as a re agent without a license.. and some states are starting to crack down on the activity as they get complaints of the many newbie or not so honest folks taking advantage of the public.I make pretty large % of my income helping fix and flippers do just that come into title on the properties so they don't have these issues. 

Ohio has started to crack down on this activity and there was a thread here were a person in FLA got turned into the DRE and they are pursuing the case as an unlicensed activity

This is the information my attorney gave me for my business in CO and I know DORA is looking to crack down on unlicensed private money brokers here.

Nobody who supports the crackdown on undocumented residents presumably noticed what happened in Alabama when they passed a similar ban.

You can certainly make a ton of money doing it, but I have a feeling the towns, local communities and HOAs are going to further crack down on them in 2017 and beyond. 

Being from NYC, earlier in 2016 we had this crackdown on short-term rentals as well, so I understand your situation.

Any worry about being chucked out of the country due to immigration crack downs?

As to real estate, immigration crack downs might effect that roofer you have, individual health care policies might drive up the cost of doing business for small contractors if they will still be required to be covered, seems they want to get rid of Obama Care but still want everyone covered.....we will see.

They’re really trying to crack down with new laws.
