Basically I wanted to know if I could get my sales license, and "work" under a broker (purely for MLS access for investing purposes) for 3 years and be eligible to then proceed to get a broker license.I just was not sure whether or not you had to be actually doing listings with clients for those 3 years, or if simply having an "active" license fulfills the requirement.Thanks!

If you don't fulfill your part of the partnership, your partner will take over, and you'll have lost your money and (likely) at least part of your partner's money. 

@Simon Shih - Congratulations and that's an excellent start to fulfilling your New Year's resolution in the first month!

You walk in the establishment hungry and have a desire for a level of satisfaction and fulfillment.

Avoid fractionalizing the note between you and the seller unless you have a securities license.Once the borrower has made the payments and fulfilled whatever terms you and the seller agreed in your purchase agreement, the note is endorsed and trust deed assigned back to the seller.

Doing work on a contract for deed is not a concern like a lease option because you have a contract which you will take title to the property upon fulfilling the contractIf it is in Georgia I would recommend just having it be a note as the time to foreclose vs time to evict on a contract for deed are almost the same amount of time

They made 3% of your purchase price, and didn't really fulfill their end of the bargain.  

@Salvatore LentiniKnowledge, credit, money. 2 will be fulfilled by the end of the year

No matter how "hot" the first one is, if she doesn't fulfill the second role...it's a slow death.

This is easier said than done because passive investors don't really hang out on free platforms because they prefer their privacy, don't derive any value from talking to new investors, and are busy living fulfilling lives ie family/job.2.
