@Jeff MikosYes, you have to take the class even if you have the materials or knowledge. 90 hours total, at least 15 of which need to be interactive (via Webinar or in person).I took my education through Chicago Real Estate School.

No, that's because others never learn real estate beginning at the beginning, I suggest you begin by looking up the theory of the 'bundle of rights", what rights does an owner hold, what rights are conveyed under a lease and what responsibilities are retained by an owner.That's why we get so many crapheads on here, they never studied real estate law or concepts that all transactions are based on, they just glossed right over the small stuff to the money making tactics of some whizbang who dreamed something up.

These are primarily our seller credibility brochure but being a tri-fold I thought I could mail them as well and see how that works.The dilemma is that I did not give adequate consideration to the disclosure requirement to disclose my wife's real estate license in the marketing materials.

I will try to stay engage with others as well and not only focus on the material.

Ask a plumber, they will usually say a crapper is a crapper, basically.You can find all kinds of stuff on CL, but what is there isn't a reliable source for materials, you just luck out or get screwed.Box stores fit the bill for most materials for most homes.

I believe Michael Quarles posted some brilliant material. 

My advice with books is to read the ones that are recommended at the end of the podcasts, and to be willing to pay money for the material.  

Thinking about offering time + material as investment and getting a percentage of the profit (15%) in return with a minimum matching the investment.

Let me guess, you've never been in business for yourself before, you read some guru stuff and listened to podcasts, read forums and blogs, haven't read a real estate text book that agents use to pass their exams, you're a creative guy, but don't know business law or real estate law, don't know laws of agency at a state or federal level or what RE agents and brokers must or must not do.I agree with Joseph's suggestion, at least take an agent's course, at the very least get the materials they use to learn real estate.
