Do you really think the old geezers in DC knows what the difference between the tax bracket rate and the effective tax rate. 

I have held a real estate license since 2012 in Seattle, WA and have recently relocated to sunny Arizona and am in the process of getting my RE Brokers license here.

The problem is in Washington State to be a property manager you have to be a licensed broker and I am afraid being licensed will be an conflict in interest with investing in real estate later down the line.

Got a message such info could only be posted under Market place.I am from Rockville MD.Disclosure: I have a full-time job DC that I do not plan to quit, so I am only available to do REI activities mostly after hours or on the weekend.
