@Shayne Hastings -- courses are great, but I'm not sure what you're trying to obtain via the course.

Hi I am looking for insights on how to become a real estate agent in California. I have recently moved here and would like to take this as my full time career. TIA

You will be able to obtain a lot more information since you personally know the owner.

I would have loved to obtain Fannie Mae Financing, but I am just under the minimum limit (700k loan.)

Or could the “tax person” actually help me with both setting up LLC and obtaining EIN?

You can only obtain certain knowledge by having Skin in the Game. 

If so, is there any sort of way to obtain permission or find an alternative source of comp pics for the flyer?

When buying property from a Seller who must complete work as a contingency upon which my purchase is based, I always make sure the contract states that the Seller’s obligation to complete such work survives Closing and that they expressly represent to complete the work to a commercially reasonable standard and to obtain and provide me with all necessary sign offs and licenses/certificates.

Any advice on skip trace sites, information on obtaining etc.

Would anyone want to give advice about how to obtain your Real Estate License in Indiana?
