Hi Everybody,Is it necessary for me to have a GST account number registered for a real estate business? From what I have read off of websites like taxtips.ca and  canadaone.ca, you only need to collect the taxes on go...

you need to check with each state.. but generally anything that is commercial purpose no license needed except for about 12 states in the US were an NMLS registration and state licesne is required.off the top of my head states that require licenses areOR  NV  SD  CA TN  and I think Minnisota  and there are a few more.. check your state.. usually you can just look on a big local HML website if you see NMLS registration and state license then your probably going to need one.However bottom line is to check with the state .. and or an attorney who specializes in this.

From what I understood according to this article here https://smallbiztrends.com/2014/03/register-busine... foreign registration wouldn't apply in my case, since I wouldn't have a physical address or employees or a warehouse or a physical property I buy and hold in that state. 

Of course I am the Speaker, so perhaps I'm a bit biased.Also, I do recommend the Roundtable Discussions, too.And if you'd like to stop by and introduce yourself, we will have a booth, as well - though it is not in the Expo Hall (Wednesday 04:30 PM - 07:30 PM & Thursday 01:00 PM - 05:00 PM), but rather in the "Overflow Room" which is right next to the Registration Desk AND open & available the entire Event, not the specific hours listed above.Wish you the best of luck to learn & meet anything & everything about Self Storage. 

Apparently, only 12% of landlord complied & registered, so they have extended the deadline for registration to June 30, 2018.

That way you don't pay double fees (i.e. annual registration fees in two states).
