You'll make all the connections you need in person there. 2) Most realtors who are also investors that I know will speak of just as many cons to having a licence as pros of having such.

Also, you'll want to check with the local regulators about licencing and other requirements 

I have done some research and I am thinking about getting my Real Estate Licence.

Local and state compliance issues are a pain and I would ask potential professionals if they can help with city business licenses, county fictitious names & property or regional taxes, state board sales taxes, secretary of state entity issues, etc. that all require filings, paperwork, payments, etc.  

As far as licencing, becoming a realtor is not the answer, if you are brokering technically you should be taking ownership in the chain in the transaction.   

@Steven Pressey  Ask the HOA for documentation to show that the therapists has to be in state and not just licenced in state.

I guess I can just try to run his check with the Mexico drivers licence and the SS provided and see what happens.

Since I am personally at risk of loosing almost 6 figures on this, I think the biggest lesson I am learning is that licenced and reputable companies are just as easily tricked as novice investors.

Joe as someone that works in the state(s) you are interested in and has a licence in one of them I can say that I have and I know lots of people that are agents and also will wholesale.No idea what this stuff about not being able to get an assignment fee or even sillier not be able to buy and resell on like a double close.Yes you need to disclose you are an agent.  

Here you would require a licence to be paid a commission.
