What is the best and most cost efficient program to earn a real estate license in Texas?

He applied for the license under his name since he lives there and I basically run the Airbnb operations.

Again, it's really an attorney's question, and ideally the one licensed in both states.And, while talking to your attorneys, have them justify the need for an LLC.

I've heard from many that a license is required, but I still see a lot of "We Buy Houses" signs around.

Research whether or not you need any special licensing, registration, or zoning to operate your home in this way.5. 

This does happen a lot in my area and if the person is licensed and follows the rules of everything on the transaction, you should be good to go!  

At present you just need a meals and room tax license.

I know its expensive but you will be well protected :)Or you save a lot of money and be better protected by doing this consistently and well:-carry appropriate types and amounts of insurance-sign contracts with indemnification provisions- obtain all necessary licenses and permits to operate your business-ensure all vendors/contractors are licensed and insured and list you as additional insured-sign well drafted and fair leases and be a responsive landlord -be an active owner or hire an active PM  who avoids or at worse timely eliminates premises liability exposure The strategies you often read about are sold by alarmist asset protection companies who fail to disclose how impractical they are.

.: I'm not aware of any requirement for this.I do provide an application because it has a lot of information necessary for tracking the individual: social security number, driver license number, previous addresses, etc.When you take over an existing renter, I recommend you figure out how to get the entire file from the former manager/landlord.

The CapEx repairs and/or improvements that are made are done by licensed subs so that's not really an issue.
