Beginners are so needy!...lol

Hey everyone, I just finished deans book.

Right away I want to do an assignment of contract deal. Can someone tell me tips on how to talk with the seller to agree to this contract without sounding like a shark?

I'm in Illinois and I told I need a brokers license to do this.....does anyone know if it's true?

Also, to begin with what is a good starting buyers list?...at least 10 to make things happen?

I'm going to start with Craigslist and a friend of mine to start to build my buyers list. I've read y'all have been getting good results there.

What forms did everyone use...the ones Dean provides or did you get your own from somewhere else?

I'm still unsure of what I'm doing but I'm going to look up some deal and put offers in....ooooo scary because I'm still not sure if my offers are right on the button for making money and a win win for seller.
