I am held to a higher standard in real estate transactions as a licensee. 

2) I am considering a partner in this; as a Real Estate Licensee I am getting a commission with this deal; how should I proceed with that?

I think the world needs more investor-minded real estate agents (or at least licensees).

So my thinking is that I would have to get certification/licensure from an online program for a state that has reciprocity with Ohio, and then apply as a reciprocal RE licensee - but I just wanted to make sure that would even work or be possible before going through with it

There are certain ethics requirements that you must comply with as a licensee that are not present as a non-licensee.

A licensee could spend their entire career in the industry and have little or nothing to do with the actual underwriting of a loan let alone the secondary market.

While I am an active real estate licensee, my passion/desire is in investing.

It's obvious that you must really be working hard trying to do deals out of state, but the newbieness shows through.You need to get to an attorney, not just for this authorization, which you probably can't authorize, but as to your entire operations.I'm guessing you aren't a licensee in any state.

Since the broker trying to re-negotiate is your managing broker, I think you may also have some ground to stand on, since a Co-Broker arrangement would be inter-office and as a subordinate licensee, you should be able to rely on a verbal contract with your managing broker.

Hi all, I just passed the NY Salesperson Test. I'm seeking a broker to hang my license with.

Any referrals would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
