Each state and in some cases, jurisdictions like counties/cities in each state are going to have their own processes/rules, combined with some differences in the loan documents themselves.

@Justin Stryker.  1st:  Contact your MLS customer service and just ask what the differences [with them] are to switch to non-Board Member/Non-Realtor. 

Local and out of state are 2 different things.

Big difference.

You might consider how you can leverage your cpa into a different job or field.Good luck.

Whats the difference?

I went a different route, got my real estate license, and went to work for one of the largest wholesaling companies and learned everything from there!

The easiest way to explain it for many is we are similar to home flippers - with the difference being in lieu of fixing up a property that is in distress and selling it, you do this with the borrower.

When hiring contractors, the key difference compared to employees is the level of control.

Some might be depreciation recapture,  Your state makes a difference.
