you need to check with each state.. but generally anything that is commercial purpose no license needed except for about 12 states in the US were an NMLS registration and state licesne is required.off the top of my head states that require licenses areOR  NV  SD  CA TN  and I think Minnisota  and there are a few more.. check your state.. usually you can just look on a big local HML website if you see NMLS registration and state license then your probably going to need one.However bottom line is to check with the state .. and or an attorney who specializes in this.

My advice: Bid often and if the majority of your bids are being accepted then chances are that you're bidding too much.
