But, for practicality, I divide my portfolio of notes into two distinct portfolios.  

@Toby FellowsYou are correct, you need to ‘hang’ your license under a broker in order to practice real estate, and most brokerages require you to become a member of the National Association of Realtors as well.While you are preparing and taking your courses, contact several brokers and interview them to find out who might be a good fit.

I've called a couple title companies there and they are not familiar with the process and one said that the practice CANNOT be done in the state of IL.

Runs a small practice at 529 and Hwy 6.  

It isn't a big job but I don't want things to go south so I stay in it.Of course I practically live on this forum so I pass along any pertinent info I find as well as answer questions.

Let’s prioritize practical solutions that promote compliance, affordability, and overall safety for residents.

Quote from @Mark Miles: Quote from @Erica Dike: Many investors tell me they’ve hired designers who either ignore practical needs (like cleaning) or just critique their space without a strategy.

Is a strategy a practical one, especially me starting out as a beginner?

Is the normal practice in wholesaling to analyze a deal -> find a buyer -> then offer the price to the seller and form agreement?

If they did, that’s really bad practice management.
