Thanks @Braden Smith

I am currently working full time so what class would you recommend for me? 1, 3, or 6 month.  Not sure if the 90 hours of study time still applies if you choose the online route...

Hello BP friends!

I am currently living in North Carolina, originally from Louisiana and would like to get my Louisiana real estate license. I am planning to move back to Louisiana in a few months and would like to get my real estate license.

Does anyone how the best online program that I could study now and then take the Louisiana real estate exam when I move back in a few months?  I would like to start studying the materials now so that I can take the exam as soon as I return to Louisiana.

I have seen some approved per-licensing on the LREC website, but I am curious if anyone has taken this route and if so, what the best choice would be for me.

Thanks

Brian

Thanks!

So I assume I would just be able have my license with whatever PM company was employing me, since the owner of that company is required to be a broker? Sorry if these questions are elementary, but again I am very green to the industry.

Do you think it would be possible to obtain my salesperson license then work part-time for a PM company to satisfy the required 4 year holding period, while maintaining my current full-time employment? Is this something that people typically do who are trying to obtain their brokers license?

Hi All,

So I am an aspiring real estate entrepreneur, currently working in Fortune 500 Corporate Finance and have been leaning toward starting a PM company.  The reason for my interest is that my ultimate goal is to acquire and manage a large number of rental properties, and i figure that managing some third party investments could be a good source of cash flow to supplement rental income.

My question is - What types of licensing is required to operate a PM company in Louisiana?  I understand that every state has different laws but if anyone has any general information on how long it would take to obtain proper licensing to start my PM company it would be very helpful.  I currently do not have any real estate licensing but do have about a year of real estate experience (interning at a brokerage in college).  I believe i would have to obtain a brokers license which would take a few years.

Is there any way around this?  is it possible to just use an existing broker as your principal broker and still operate your own company?  I am just curious as to what the timing would be if I started obtaining a salesperson license now.  

Any insight would help!  I am extremely green in the industry and am very early in the learning process.

Thanks
