Florida Pre-licensing Courses

Hello all,

I am active duty military currently stationed OCONUS and was hoping to complete my online pre-licensing courses. 

My issue and reason for posting is that I will be unable to take the Florida real estate license exam for a couple years (approx. 2yrs 9mon).

Does anyone know how long the pre-licensing courses are good for after their completion?

Worst case scenario I could complete them and later on complete them again. Couldn't hurt...

Yes, @Walter Key hit it on the head: we bought those three houses, in the US, while we were overseas. 

While overseas, we had tax-free income from frequent deployments, we used the DoD 10% savings to boost our down payments, we used extra duty pays, family sep pay, and COLA to scrape together funds with which to invest.  I also pay close attention to my credit score, and aim to carry low debt.  We took a bit pay hit when we moved back to the States, and I'm thankful we have rental income built up.
