From the banking point of view, you can learn all you like, there is` a time limit as to completing the school and taking the exam, you could take the exam, but you cannot be affiliated with any broker until you leave the bank.

I have affiliated with Scott, so know how he works personally.

@Michael AblanDisclaimer: I'm not affiliated with "Property & User Management Automation (PUMA)"I recently saw a post in a FB group where this guy is building out a PM software from the ground up. 1-10 units being free, 10-75 units for a monthly subscription.

You may also want to look into retargeting ads, they are essentially stalker ads, when someone clicks on your website or something affiliated with you, your ads begin to pop up everywhere they search.

I don't have any affiliation to the brokerage or anything.

By that I mean, it does something to help someone complete an actual transaction.First I am not affiliated with any one selling educational material.

The ones we work with don't care if we never come into the office (we've never even met the broker in Maryland that we're affiliated with), don't care if we never represent other clients, don't care if we never do a single deal and don't care if real estate is a full-time, part-time or never-time activity (as long as we're current on our fees/dues).If your wife wants to do some Realtor work for others, I'd recommend considering a mid-sized brokerage, where she gets some name recognition with the brand, but also gets a good bit of flexibility. 

This will allow people not affiliated with an agent to call you directly.Good luck

@Joshua Dorkin Recently got an email from someone who claimed to be affiliated with the company BlueSky Lending LC and that they might be able to finance a certain deal I was putting together.Had been conversing with the apparent impersonator through an email listed on the biggerpockets profile; however, on 'copying' an email of the 'same person' listed on the company's business website, I got a response from one John claiming not to know the other John and wanting to know what was going on.

You might check out these folks ( I have no affiliation):http://gsrealtyca.com/
