If someone represents themselves as private lenders, check them on NMLS consumer access to see if they are licensed.

I have a real estate license but its inactive. 

Toby - getting your license for self representation of you're planning on doing a lot of deals is a good option.1) You have to hang your license with a broker unless you have a brokers license.

Sorry to all you handy men (I am not one of you…)Raleigh’s website goes on to say “a licensed NC General Contractor is required for projects with a total project valuation greater than $30,000.”Your ADU MUST NOT be on wheelsOnly one ADU is allowed per single lot unless located in a Frequent Transit Area (as referenced in UDO Section 2.6.3 or 3.6.2).

I'm also a mortgage broker licensed in FL.

In fact, there may be other home service opportunities with quicker growth potential worth considering.Additionally, be aware that in Texas you’ll need a broker’s license, not just a real estate license, to operate a property management business.

If you put any information on social media you are practicing real estate without a license.

If you have 30 years uninterrupted with no complaints or major complaints I have never had a complaint and have been licensed 50 years once you hit 70 no longer need to do CE just pay the fee every 4 years :) 

Albert as an investor have you ever bought a home through a non licensed wholesaler ??

Good luck  I cant see why anyone would want to try to wholesale in these markets one its illegal without a RE license in CA just read the regs.. second you do all this work and nothing closes because you cant get deals good enough..
