Joan pretty much hit it, you might be better off finding a small mom and pop type place to hag you license and negotiate with them as to what you do.OTH, a large brokerage is where they will have formal training, being new you probably need that.Brokers don't take new agents without the expectation of making money, while you will be an independent agent tax wise, getting on board is much like applying for a job.Initially, forget the investor stuff and learn what retail is about, then invest as deals come up.Your broker will be responsible for anything you do in real estate, as a licensee if you deal in RE you'll be held to ethical standards as well as legal aspects as a licensee.

I guess I’m still in Realtor® mode when it comes to writing anything in the Special Provisions section, as it was forbidden as a licensee.

As a licensee you cannot pay a non-licensee for any activities even a bird dog fee would be illegal.

NEITHER investors or real estate licensees are all seeing-all knowing.

I read that there's an advantage of getting an CA Finance Lender License because it would apply to a business entity as a whole rather than individual licensees.

As that becomes an activity of licensees in representation.You don't need an exclusive right to buy and sell the property, just an exclusive right to sell that property to your buyer.

I don't plan to become a managed licensee until summer 2015.

I got a list of all of the licensees in the state and narrowed the list down by the number of beds.
