Government does creat jobs (lol) making this origination process political, having borrowers go take a class and having "qualified" instructors charge such fees.

Two questions, what was the instructors name and if there is a text book can you send me the ISBN please.Just ask if I can assist you in anyway.Jasper

The format in my post above all messed up, posting again:Found this on TREC website: TREC regulates these real estate professionals in Texas: • Real Estate Sales Agents and Brokers • Real Estate Inspectors • Easement and Right-of-Way Agents • Real Estate Education Providers • Real Estate Education Instructors • Residential Service Companies (home warranty companies) • Timeshare Plans I don't see property managers.

The instructors are US-based, so it definitely has a US focus.

Until revealed later in the seminar that actually as an S-Corp you have to pay yourself a salary, and the instructor said he pays himself what IRS considers reasonable, which is 30% of the proceeds.

Our instructor on this is Mark Kohler of KKOS Lawyers(.com).1.

Always check with your accountant.I'm an NRA certified instructor in "Basic Pistol" (think "Handguns 101"). 

Not so, according to the instructor.

I have competed in 29 countries, an alternate in boxing for the 92 olympics, made the olympic team for karate in 92 but the event was cut 6 months prior, former hand to hand combat instructor for the LA Sherrifs, etc etc...I have been called Sensei at the age of 12 nad has been morphed as a name rather than just a title.Fluff?

The 101 class has has some rigor and I found all of the CCIM instructors to be top notch, supportive, and helpful.
