It doesn't make sense to get your licence for one transaction.Even more importantly, hiring an experienced broker who knows what they're doing will likely put more money in your pocket anyway!

I currently have my own contracting company and just got my Realtor's licence.

I have a MA licence and can run MLS comps.What are you looking to do with it?  

Just got a letter today from the Div. of Corp in NY that my LLC's name is too close to one in NY, so we have to do a fictitious name under which we will do business in NY.

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

update: I spent more than $300 :-)I spent almost $600 on a direct mail campaign with Jerry Pucketts Market like a Wholesaler company.I spent $250 on my RE Licence course.

I'l try to help here:Not totally certain and it may vary by state, but I have heard there is usually a waiting period after you get your sales licence before you can start a property management company (doesn't mean you can't self manage your own investments).

You don't need a licence and the risk is HIGH if you don't know what your doing.

I know there may be laws pertaining to wholesaling real-estate. I just want to be safe. Thanks fellow BPers!

Nationwide real estate licence.
