I did mine through a RE local lawyer I met in one of our REIA meetings and now I have peace of mind that it was done in the right way.

I flip in Chicago and own a few rentals but want to relocate to Hawaii.

I feel like I learned a lot from you all, very practical advice.Cheers,Jake

Hi, yes, this is an acceptable practice.  

Is it possible/practiced in the state of Alabama (or those other non-rebate states?

What practices are considered dishonest when wholesaling?  

If you would like to join heads and share best practices in business, please feel free to connect with me.  

My fiancée would be graduating at the end of the year with a mountain of student loans and we knew that we would soon be relocating from Tennessee... but where to?

Well all I can say is Real Estate and those that sell it are a lower form of life that practice in this manner then from the responses I read that say it isn't unethical - Yes it may be common practice but I do not believe it is ethical or even honest - Honesty isn't just lying but it is a manner of representing a property and what you want for it - If your intention is to delay an answer in order to get more bidders that is not honest - if I listed a car for sale for $XX and someone offered me cash at that value I would feel obligated to sell it.

While I'm still a noob in the REI space, I want to know what are best practices to build rapport with a broker(s) to start walking properties and seeing deals before thy hit loop net or the MLS.
