Need Help! Becoming an agent from overseas?
I'm in a bit of a bind. I've closed two deals and I'm working on a third that should close at the end of the year. However, I'm leaving money on the table by not being a licensed agent. Long story short, I could collect a small referral fee on each of my deals, and it would add up pretty quickly over the next few years, but I can only do this if I'm an agent and I hang my license at a brokerage.
So here's the big problem. I'm a security contractor in the Middle East, which means that I have to live in a crappy little desert hole most of the time and I can't come back to America to take any of the in-person exams that are required to become a real estate agent. I need help to find a state which will allow me to complete the whole process from a distance. Is there any such state? It doesn't much matter to me where I get my license, because I only plan to continue doing my long-distance investing and I just need a place to hang my license. I don't actually plan to work as an agent (I am SUCH a terrible salesman, you have no idea).
