Since I would be reactivating my license, I believe I can use my old book, pay $100 for the test, $3-400 for mls fees, a few hundred if that for a couple catch-up continuing ed. classes, and I'll be off to the races.Lynn, yes I agree, there are many homes that aren't very appealing.

He also told me that he made more from his rentals than he did from the law firm.He still held the entire portfolio of properties when he passed at age 90, giving the properties to his relatives who continue to keep the properties and run the rentals, living off the income. 30-40 free and clear properties does provide a nice "side" income.The "stepped up basis" provides that the inherited property transfers basis at the value at the date of death, which makes all the capital gains unrealized during the owner's lifetime tax free.This attorney had the same portfolio for maybe 40+ years, he never bought any more property and never sold any of his rental properties.
