    Congratulations Ryan! That's quite an accomplishment. I've been thinking of getting my license too and have a question for you. Now that you have your license. Are you still required to work for a brokerage for 2 years before starting your own? (My wife had her license several years ago and that was a requirement then. Looking back we wish she'd kept her license current). As a wholesaler im not sure how it would work having a license with a broker and doing wholesale deals for investors.

    In Indiana even though I have my "broker" license. I have to be under a managing broker for 2 years before I can go out on my own.

    Congratulations! If you do not have a broker you might want to talk to @Stephen Barton about who he works with or recommendations.

    @Joe Melvin You just have to find an investor friendly broker. There are several guys here on BP who are licensed agents under a broker doing hundreds of wholesale deals a year. You just have to do them as the principal and make sure you abide by the rules.

     If she seriously is going to go for it I have flash cards and a "dummies" book she can have free. Like 80 worth of stuff.

    I used to live off of 8th Street in Beech Grove behind the Italian Restaurant. I sold that house on Contract, I'm considering moving back to the area as all my family live there. We will have to stay in touch I'm looking at investing there in 18 to 24 months.
