Real Estate License

[David Taylor]

I am currently working towards getting my Real Estate License and learned that you can work for a broker as an employee or independent contractor.  My question is, which option are guys using when planning to use their license as an investor? And, the difference in terms?

Thanks,

Dave

David,

I got my license simply so I could get access to the TrendMLS. I hold it in a "deferral" status for a broker of my choice. What that means is, I can't actually write contracts or act as an agent but I can refer business to other realtors at that specific firm. It cost $300 for the year, but its wells worth not having to deal with Realtors to get access to properties. I run my own schedule and I can get to properties on a moments notice

Good luck!
