Me, my dad, and brother formed an LLC earlier this year specifically for real estate investing. We are closing on a home EOY and need insurance. I'm running into the issue that insurance companies don't like to quote for an LLC, but rather, for individuals. I've been told I can add the home to my personal policy and list the LLC as an additional insured. But am hesitant to do that since the whole point of having the LLC is to protect our personal finances from liability. Any tips here?

We're in North Texas. My wife had her license back in 2008 (she worked as an admin for a commercial realtor and they paid for it), but she never went active under a broker, and she left the company in 2009.  I'm assuming she would have to do everything again - correct? 180 hours + exam in Texas?

Thanks Kevin - it look like the Groupon offer is no longer active - bummer. 

Hello, I am considering making a career switch to real estate over the next year. I am well connected in my community, and really enjoy the idea of buying/selling homes, flipping, or purchasing rentals. I am 35 years old with a family, and have a stable job that pays decent and has good benefits, but want more flexibility, and more earning potential. Has anyone made a switch similar to me? What steps did you take? Where did you start? Any hesitations or things to watch out for? Which online services would you suggest for getting my real estate license?

Thanks!

Kent
