And maybe one would need to get a Master Business Licence??

You can also look for a young hungry agent who wants to make offers and close deals (or get your own licence).

Also, they offer tuition reimbursement for certain licencing expenses (not sure which ones since I transferred from Century 21).

You need to take a look at where they presently live and how it is maintained, if they do or do not have pets, how well they maintain their personal vehicle, confirm drivers licence info matches their application form.

How hard is getting loans and mortgages while being a independent contractor/realtor. Do you have W2s or file as self employed? And do you know if banks loan to you differently since its not "stable" income in there e...

Assuming HOI on an investment property was the same (i'm sure its not), here's my figures:Proposed monthly:$660 - mortgage at 30 years at 4.5% estimate$60 - property tax (appx $700 annually)$70 - insurance (appx $800 annually)$60 - vacancy at 5%$83 - maintenance (est $1k annually)$1,200 - conservative market rentCash flow: = $260Our "next" home is highly fictitious, but I intend to spend a similar price and search for something that needs some cosmetic work for quick equity with the intent that we may eventually rent that home out later in life, as well.Would these figures make sense?

I have my licence so i think that could help.

I don't know the right way to set this up this fictitious scenario so that I get what I want (good assignment fee), the seller gets what s/he wants (out from under the property) and the buyer is enticed to buy knowing there is a strong possibility s/he will make a profit after rehab, PAYING THE BALANCE of the note, and selling (assuming they don't hold the property).  

Being new, I found these numbers quite fictitious to deal with which is why I read up some on it.I agree that if you are an all cash investor, the NOI and CAP rate that you see is an actual figure you can work with.

research the "exception" to the rules for needing a licence.
