I live in California. According to my research, I can't sell more then 7 houses in one calendar year before the state deems me in the business. How do you guys suggest getting around this hurdle? Do I just get my license instead?

10131.1.

(1) "In the business" means any of the following:
(A) The acquisition for resale to the public, and not as an
investment, of eight or more real property sales contracts or
promissory notes secured directly or collaterally by liens on real
property during a calendar year.
(B) The sale to or exchange with the public of eight or more real
property sales contracts or promissory notes secured directly or
collaterally by liens on real property during a calendar year.
However, no transaction negotiated through a real estate licensee
shall be considered in determining whether a person is a real estate
broker within the meaning of this section.
(C) The making of eight or more loans in a calendar year from the
person's own funds to the public when those loans are held or resold
and are secured directly or collaterally by a lien on residential
real property consisting of a single dwelling unit in a condominium
or cooperative or on any parcel containing only residential buildings
if the total number of units on the parcel is four or less. However,
no transaction negotiated through a real estate broker who meets the
criteria of subdivision (a) or (b) of Section 10232 shall be
considered in determining whether a person is a real estate broker
within the meaning of this section.
