She is in the process of getting her real-estate license, would she be able to serve as the real-estate agent for our transaction?

@Andrea Evans I think:Worst Part - Lots of pitfalls you can fall into if you do not know what to look for like buying and property taxes double, suburb rental license, buying a property with violations, not understanding the importance of lease documents, etc...Best Part - There is so many opportunistic corners or niches in the city and suburbs that most out of state people do not know about and out of state investors never get to cause they get caught looking at cap rates on the south side and in south burbs. 

I watch Brandon Mulrenin for his cold calling content, just for knowledge, however when I obtain my license I anticipate using a different approach to his when it comes to personality and tone. 

And you also have to jump through a lot of permitting hoops and redtape, depending of what you want to serve: take out, dine-in, beer&wine, liquor - all different licenses.

@Quan TruongAs a licensed real estate agent and insurance agent in Houston, TX, you can effectively lead your real estate journey by partnering with other investors, lenders, and property managers.

Research the licensing requirements and know the right questions to ask during the vetting process.

Also, I recently got my real estate license and am going to start my career as an agent next week.

I'd recommend talking to a mortgage broker who is licensed in your state.

I am a mortgage broker (not licensed in CT), but here in Hawaii we have a few national mortgage banks/financial institutions we work with which will provide financing on condos where the master policy is less than 100% replacement cost.
