Not illegal, but not a great idea, just my 2 cents.

I didn't like doing the chores and stuff I did as a kid, but then I look back and think I was such a hard worker, why don't all the kids today chomp at the bit to do yard work and homework

We face this a lot with illegally enclosed porches.

That would be a constructive or self help eviction and it is illegal.

It is a good way to get started but also highly illegal as your acting as a sales person for homes that you do not own.

We can't have workers sitting around on the clock without being productive, so the earliest we could productively return to the job is Wednesday (yes, the 4th)...

I have never rented to any illegal individuals, but have heard from many who have.

i hate when i keep seeing the word "flip" used (flipping is illegal if you did not know), flipping means putting a property under agreement and then selling it to another party without closing on it yourself first. at any rate, if you became an agent thinking it will better enable you to obtain better deals for yourself in most states it would not be prudent for a few reasons involving liability as well as the costs to maintain a lic., ins., mls/board dues, C.ed classes, etc,etc,etc.

My opinion is that this is an illegal operation.

I'm assuming the primary risk would be a law suit against you in the event of injury or death if the worker is not insured.
