Real Estate Agent is probably your best bet. Do a search on google or yahoo and look for local private schools who gives classes or you can find some online one's.

Yes, your father should get a business license. You did not mention where in California, so you may want to start with the California Business site called CalGold, where you enter your county and city and business type to find out what is required: http://www.calgold.ca.gov/ \n\nThe license itself will be issued by the county in which he resides, so go to that county's website and see if they have an online application. \n\nOther very useful centers are the Small Business Administration (SBA) http://www.sbaonline.sba.gov/businesslaw/index.html \nand Small Business Development Center (SBDC) http://www.norcalsbdc.org/aboutus.htm. \n\nThey both offer counseling and assistance in the start-up of small business. All counseling is confidential and most counseling services are free.\n\nBest of luck!

California is among the most overheated markets in real estate so buying now MAY get you into a financial mess by overpaying. Renting is always a waste of money. If you can get LAND at a reasonable price then building a home will avoid the profit you would pay a homeowner for an existing home. That's just my opinion.\n\nImran

To obtain a brokers license in the state of CA you must first obtain a real estate salesperson license and if you have a collage degree in a business relates field you may apply for a brokers license after completing the required continuing education and have your salesperson license for 1 year. If you don't have a business degree you can apply for a brokers license after 3 years as a real estate salesperson with your license in good standing

Anywhere is an improvement over Oakland.  If you like California, go to the central valley.  Tracy is booming, so is Modesto.

California, because it is a progressive state as far as education is concerned. Also, I believe it has the highest base salary...

Due to the complexity and extra cost of opening a corporation, I would suggest an LLC.  With a one member llc it is treated much like a sole proprietorship.  Gains will be taxed at your personal rate.  But if you live in this home for 2 out of 5 years, then you are entitled to a 250k exemption from the sale of the home.  If you plan on buying and selling many houses then maybe an Inc would be better.  Consult a lawyer and/or CPA.  It all depends on the facts and circumstances and how big you plan on becoming with your investment activities.  Inc are easier to get financing... LLC is cheaper and you can open quite easily by yourself.

Take the test in California. The same as the bar. The laws are different so you may need to take a course before you take the exam.
