I do not know the laws in CA because I am in WA, but when I got my license in college, I was able to join a team and work under a managing broker.

@Colby Todd I also received monies from the VA while in college and this is just something that lenders cannot count as income. 

Storage?

The city zoning has the home listed as single family, but the previous owner added in a second meter for the basement it looks like.It would be advantageous for me to have it appraised and classified as single family since it will me a lower down payment, but the lender has indicated he thinks the appraiser will say it’s multi since the basement has a kitchen.I’m unfamiliar with the specifics on this situation.

so i just bought my first otc tax deed this year in st louis mo and did pretty good, $2k bid for 3/1.5bth house still occupied by previous owners tenant.

I bought a multifamily/commercial property last year - a few weeks after I graduated college.

First of all, I always do full credit and criminal background checks, and verify their rental history with previous landlords. 

In CA in the past people with a college degree can start as a broker.

I have a graphic designer wife and also spent a lot of time and effort branding my previous service business looking for a singular design and style across all media.
