I currently rehab properties and am considering going back to school to obtain my RE license and eventually my Broker license in order to have access to the MLS for the buying and selling purposes and to increase my profits.

The secret that I have found is to find the broker responsible and let them know your serious.

How can I get an agreement with the local broker that says if I find the buyer, I get 2.5%Also, I think with my sales skills, I can sell it for more than they have it listed for on the MLS.I am confident I can find a buyer, we need to sell the house quick and I don't want my Grandma's financial state to be in control of a non-motivated brokerage.

A contract that covers something illegal is not enforceable.Most states prevent someone who is not a principal from collecting a fee or commission on a RE deal unless they have the correct license for the state.Depending on the deal and how you document your relationship to the parties you might be bring to court a document that proves you are breaking the state laws on RE brokering without a license.John Corey

If you own the property, you can sell it yourself without going through your broker.

Hello all mortgage brokers, lenders, and financial gurus!

This question probably should be posted elsewhere, but I'll try to help anyways...I'd start by saying that you should talk with a mortgage broker, not just a loan officer with a bank.

While I am in some pre-license classes at the moment, I am noticing that the brokers who come in to class to recruit, when questioned about investing, usually say that they encourage their licensees, who are interested in investing, to do so.

Are there attorneys i should know... brokers... etc.
