My name is Zach Langley, and I’m a licensed realtor based in Dallas, TX.

I myself have been a Licensed Real Estate Agent in Southeast Michigan since 2021 when I turned 20 years old, and have took a bit of a hiatus since now to finish my Bachelors in Business Administration.

Ask them to confirm the license is still active.

I am starting real estate school soon to get my license but here in Florida I was told I can buy as an investor without. 

Some are not even licensed realtors.

An update one year later after this post, I now have:- Got my property and casualty license and wrote 370+ policies in a year- Saved up a few more thousand dollars in investable cash, paid off $20K in debt and raised my credit score by 100 points- Launched a direct to seller cold email marketing campaign and generated leads for cheap- Got connected with a few real estate investing communities like Subtle Asian Real Estate and Pace Morby's SubTo- Aggressively read and studied as much as I can get my hands onThat being said, I decided to run a marketing campaign to generate distressed seller leads in Phoenix, Arizona, mostly because:1.

Same applies with any other State, check Licensing, BBB or Corp Lic.

all materials, all labor costs to others, Not you, utilities, interest payments, permits, licenses, auto/truck expenses, tools needed are all deductable. 

I'll save you the details but...Per door cost: $63,300All in Cost: 700kTotal Revenue: 137k(ish) annuallyNOI: 65-73% (in the expenses we included: insurance, taxes, $75/month per door repair expense, management fee 8%, grass cutting, & a misc fund for random crap business license, etc.)Now...

.#1 I would call the city rentals department directly and ask if the seller's license will remain active until the day yours becomes active.
