@Jordan YarbroughYes I've taken the state exam and this is the school that helped me get started: http://www.accreditedncschools.com/Or you could try Sierra College or Folsom community college for your real estate classes as a pre-requisite to take the exam.Should you select Accredited schools you should be ready to take the exam before the year is out or sooner.Good luck.... 

I only recently learned it's not in other states which blows my mind, I spend a few weeks traveling out west (Colorado, Utah, etc) to ski every winter and plan to pack a CO detector now.

Going skiing tomorrow though at Bear so just contingent on me getting back into town in time. 

Once you find a deal a hard money lender should be able to react quickly getting you a pre-approval letter and funding.

@Ski Zawaski Leave your property to someone else... in a WILL or TRUST or gift or sell it during your natural life.

Just getting started and don't want to get over my skis.  

APR will be dependent on your credit score. 

@Nathan Platter you are confusing a pre approval letter or commercial  bank loan commitment with what the Minnesota purchase agreement's written statement   requirement. 

I just got quote for the one I made an offer on and it is 5.38% APR.

(I have a B.A in International Relations/Business, have been working as a PR specilalist, fluent in a foreign language and have been working as Administrative assistant at a company for 1.5 yrs so far) In your opinion, what is the effective way to apply for a real estate assistant( entry-level RE job when a non-licensee, salary based) career in washington ?
