You could also ask this Realtor to pay the broker at the non-agent firm a referral fee (although they wouldn't be obligated to, but probably would), and then that broker could pay the non-Realtor licensee their cut.

We get lots of wholesalers contacting us [...] in an effort to add our licensees to their buyer's list.

The Washington regulatory structure requires licensees to carry General Liability and Products Liability coverage, and there are three competing coverage forms out there.  

I'm currently enrolled at a Community College (CCSF) taking classes to prepare for my real estate licensee test so I wanted to chime in on the discussion.

As an NASD licensee, I couldn't even do a private loan using a promissory note with a family member because it was a violation of the selling away rules.

I'm a new California real estate licensee.

Or maybe an affidavit of equitable interest, and if so would this even protect non real estate licensees while wholesaling? 

The Agency’s investigations are complaint driven, so we rely heavily on the public, and our licensees to bring these individuals to our attention.

As long as you disclose that you are a licensee in the original contract, and that you are buying the property as a principal & for your own personal interest, I don't see why any other methods are needed.Replies?

There are different tax rates for different forms of income, but income is always taxed provide you had more income than expenses:)@Ned CareyA licensee cannot legally pay a fee to a non-licensee with one minor exception ($50 to a tenant of apts complex that they own that brings another tenant).
