The law ((765 ILCS 940/) Mortgage Rescue Fraud Act) defines these terms. Whether the property or you fit into the definitions should be found by applying the definitions in the act to your facts. If you can't it's time to hire an attorney. As to buying and selling properties, you can buy or sell for yourself without having to be licensed, but if you try to do it for a third party (other than a spouse or child) and attempt to claim a commission, you need a State license.
