You do have to be a citizen of the US and a legal resident of the state in which you are living.\n\nReal Estate is a state regulated industry. Meaning, each individual state has its own different requirements for real estate agents.\n\nThe source below is specific to Texas.

You need to be licensed in the countries you're practicing in.

Speak to a lawyer for some good & impartial advice.  Immigration & real estate are two areas of your life where you really cannot afford to be ill informed, or act on wrong information. With regard to the loan, my suggestion is that you'll pay less interest in the US- but US lenders will be wary of lending to anyone buying outside of the States. Suerte!

The seminars can be found on the web - you will have to do the research. You also want to make connectiosn with realtors - and others who will be your primary source of referrals. Another tool you want to look at is the Linked In system. It is great for networking.  If I was looking for any kind of specialist I would look there first.

Most of the long-term agents I've known in the busines did NOT pass it the first time.  What really matters is, can you sell?  ANYONE can get a license, if they work at it enough, but NOT everyone can sell.

Assuming you'd like to start off working with a good Realtor who will take care of your real estate needs now and in the future, I suggest finding a Realtor who works for and by referral. They will not be spending time on door knocking etc and keep in touch with their past clients. This way, they'll have more time to work with you during the transaction.\n\nI'm a Realtor but not in your area. However, I have met other Realtors in person who are in your area and run their business in the same way I run mine. If you'd like a Referral to one who's professional and runs their business like I run mine, go to http://www.ReferredPro.com and submit your request. I'll forward your request onto a qualified Realtor local to you. Most of the Realtors I network with, I have met in person. I won't give your information out without your approval. So no worries there!

First you have to become a licensed Realtor. That entails taking a class and passing it. After you pass the test, you take a state board exam. If you pass the board you have to work under a licensed Broker for a certain amount of time. After that, you do the same as above except you do it to become a licensed Broker.\n\nIf you can find a company to sponser you and give you a job when you have completed the Realtor portion, they will usually pay all your expenses for school.\n\nIt is not easy to complete. It is not an easy job either. You have to work week ends, be on call for your clients day & night. Keep up with all the listings, meetings, seminars, etc.\n\nIt is demanding at best. If you have kids, I wouldn't even consider it. The only real difference between a Realtor and a Broker is the Broker makes more money. But it takes a long, long time to build a business as a Broker. Unless, of course, you can get in with someone else that is already established. You can handle closings and money as the Broker. You also have the total responsibility for all the people who license under you. \n\nLong story short, there are no short cuts in the Real Estate business.

That's definitely a question best handled by the professionals involved, like your realtor and your attorney. Just don't know, it'll be different from state-to-state. Plz talk to your attorney!

You should check with the real estate commission. You might need to retake the classes if too much time passed. \n\nIf you don't have to take the classes again, buy the books from your local real estate school that they use for classes and study. I had a disk I used to take practice exams. I'm in Pa.\n\nGood luck!

Absolutely, many foreigners own US real estate.  In fact, being from Florida, I can tell you that many of the condos are being purchased by people living in Central & South America.\n\nIn fact, there are mortgage programs specifically available for foreign nationals, too.\n\nI'd recommend finding a location that you would like to own in first, and after that, consider looking for a real estate agent that you would like to work with.\n\nHappy property buying...

First off, your inquiry  is  multiple questions in one... However I would  try and answer as many as possible to the best of my abilities\n\n1.  Anything is possible but there is no guarantee you would earn 40 to 50% on your R/E investment. It would also depend which real estate market you're interest/investing in. For example in California where property values traditionally return higher dividends to investors than the rest of the country, in a relative hot market the norm is between 20 to 30%. Presently the real estate market nationwide is flat... In short--there is no guarantee....\n\n2. Cant answer this questions...it varies depending on services rendered\n\n3. No need to prove source of funds....\n\n4. I dont think so....\n\n5. Again, anything is possible. In fact there are companies that specialize in doing just that.  I personally dont like the idea for I like to have control over my investments..too many people, even with a legal contract, too many headaches. \n\n6.  Buying a piece of property, once you have identify  market and property to purchase, is a relative simple task...at lest for american citizens it is.  Now to roganize a group of investors I suppose it would be more expensive and time consuming. \n\n7. that's utterly up to the individual investor....\n\n8. It's possible but it depends on lots of factros; location, market, price, etc. It's possible but no guarantee...\n\n9. There are too many, complex  tax rules to give a simple answer... I would suspect that capital gains, specially if you are a foreign investor, could be in the 25%, give or take.\n\nI hope I were able to give you a ball park answer to all your questions. My honest advice to you: Consult with an international real estate attorney before investing. Best of luck.

First of all you have to have to be a licensed real estate salesperson in your state. Then when you hang your license with your broker they will tell you if and which Board of Realtors® to join. You will be charged annual dues and be required to take Code of Ethics classes.

A real estate license allows you to act as an agent (middleman) in real estate transactions.  You would need one per state that you were activly doing transactions in.\n\nI agree...he most likely doesn't have one.

If I understand the question properly... \n\nYour representing properties in Asia and looking for buyers in California? \n\nI would think this is more of a licensing question for an Asian goverment. I would recommend checking with the California Department of Real Estate. www.dre.ca.gov to be sure how California looks at it.

I have a home business that is doing very well in the Philippines and once started you can work from anywhere in the world, including Korea.  It is called Freelife International and it is a 10 year old debt free company. Being it is open in the Philippines, you could get started right away!  Believe me, this is legitimate and a very nice income. I started earning money my second day in the business and became a Director within a week. Some of our top ambassadors live in the Philippines.  Please have a look at my website and let me know what you think of it!\nThank you and good luck!

some states have reciprocal agreements with one another--for example if you have a teaching license in one state it will be honored in another. if CA and AZ do not have that reciprocity, then you will need to fulfill the teaching requirements (tests, classes, etc.) for CA. however, if you are simply in school in CA and do not have certification for AZ yet, then you just need to follow the certification requirements for CA and not worry about AZ.
