I am an investor myself, and also an Assistant to a real estate agent who is also a close friend and manages several condo rentals through an agency on St Pete Beach.

My only question to the professionals out there is how do I keep my license active if I am not going to be working with an agency and only investing for myself part time?

Licensing laws were designed to protect the public where agency situations exist.

We also have some investments in some real estate funds: an Affordable Housing Community Fund (mobile home communities throughout the country) and a commercial real estate fund involved in purchasing and managing a retail mall in Houston. for my self directed IRA, I'm doing trust deed investing with a turnkey company (dealing with mostly memphis properties) to the tune of about an 8-9% return.

After we found it out directly from SWBC insurance company about the cancellation on Dec 30th, 2013, Ron Weaver blamed it was a middle agency’s fault. 2.After MSR reinstated our insurance under their master policy, we had a claim payout from SWBC sent directly to MSR for one vandalised property for a total of over $14,000 in March 2014.

In 2012, I sold a mobile app for a nice sum.

@Dean MoormanThese local insurance agencies don't have good policies in my opinion, or prices.  

I am currently intrigued by the idea of owning a Mobile Home Park.

I am also a partner at a real estate agency there.

Be happy to help, Our agency covers most of the state and we are more then investor friendly.
