The county will allow you to set up a meeting with them and allow you to ask questions with community development, and associated players.

But I've heard there are national players out there too.

Most licensing laws are only in existence because big players in an industry get together and bribe  lobby their politicians to help suppress their competition through the use of the government's monopoly on force.

Spend the time to learn the players on the teams.  

I cover the entire sales process during a 30-minute consultation with all my buyers... it's not that complicated.Advantages to having the license is you will be able to grow your network even faster by being exposed to more players in the market, lenders, attorneys, etc. 

But in the multifamily sector, most of the big players have already made their moves.

I wouldn't trust him to find me a single-family or to go out of his neighborhoods, because I know out of the thousands of numbers in his phone, he has connections to every major player in the area.From the sounds of it, you definitely need to do a little more independent research into your area and the market as a whole, as well as doing business.

@Joe Gore - I think there is a balance in maximizing the value of a transaction and properly recognizing the present and future value of the players in the transaction.

The judge always presumes that the landlord is wrong, and a lot of player tenants take advantage of that.

Real community players.
