@Jeffrey Stein if you find something on the MLS that fulfills the 1% rule and has upside in the Triangle Area, please let me know where that is.

When you take care of that relationship, tenants renew, they take care of your home, they fulfill their obligations and leave on good terms. 

@Fasil Khan   My goal is househack, fulfill the owner occupant part of it then move back to my current residency for cash flow.

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.
