Hi, I recently got my RE licences and now I'm working my license, what I mostly want to do with my license is to take advantage of it for investment but I want to get some advise as where and how do I start.

Before anyone pops up with a "get your own licence", I agree that is the best advice, but we are not US citizens, so that is unfortunately not an option, unless someone knows a loophole I am unaware of?

I heard from a couple sources NY state requires a Real Estate Licence but I'm not fully confident in this source.  

Ian - Looks like Ohio has an 120 hr pre-licence requirement, to be completed at an approved institution which meets State guidelines (accredited for 2 yr degree programs or above).

I've read a fair amount of books and done research into licencing and would love to get a better idea of the profession.

There has been a drop of nearly 3,500 CSL licence holders statewide over the past 5 years and the trend is continuing in that direction. 

Hi Ben,A brewery huh...You probably have something else in mind. but when you say Fort Collins BreweryI envision a Brewery/public bar with the bar having 12 foot high ceiling to floor windows on one side (on the side of a mountain) with a long expansive unobstructed view of the lower lands below.With a 40 foot deep deck on piles with chairs and tables outside in front of the large windows.And inside chairs and tables plus 6 premium raised up horseshoe booths that go for $20 extra just to sit there and enjoy the view--and buy alcohol and food.The bar serves high quality skin on hot dogs, fries cooked in beef tallow, pizza with  ton of cheese on it, high quality fried cheese sticks, and hot wings.The interior color scheme is dark brown wood and burgundy Naugahyde with nail trim.With some salt blocks put out to attract Elk to the area.There is a large steel building on the property with it's own parking lot for rental for wedding receptions, which includes a bar (due to the liquor licence)It also has a nice view and flowery repose area for wedding pics with the beautiful view as a background.Customer base not aimed at the College level (animal House crowd), but a nice place, a destination, that if someone is going to visit Ft.Collins--this is "THE" place to visit (and spend money at).But with Covid...public gathering places...hmmmm .... hmmmmm(???)

Well you have 50% of your rent disappearing to fictitious expenses right off the bat.

There is also Fictitious Name Registration.

Pushed out (maybe) 7 years.You will need to know how the Belize Tax laws affect your potential investors.You will need to know who can and who cannot invest in Belize.You will need to know if you are parallel with Belize securities laws (if there are any).You will need to know who you will need to payoff to make this happen (if they operate that way down there) (Oh señor the bulldozer permit, she takes 14 years to process--but if you talk to señor X you can have it today, just give him $Y).You will need to understand your investment shell (whatever they use there, (Inc, LP, partners, IBC, etc...) and understand how ownership percentages work, as you add investors (how much % to give away for what, and etc...).Will there be ongoing 3rd world payoffs required to operate (for Police protection, licence renewals, bad guy shakedowns, etc), and etc etc etc...Good Luck!
