Investor/Lawyer Looking to Become a Managing Broker (IL/IN)

[Lisa Rispoli]

I'm a licensed attorney in Illinois. I want to start my own firm so that I can streamline the buying process for my own investments. Here is my plan:

I plan to sit for the Broker's exam in Illinois soon. Then I'll get reciprocity in Indiana by taking the law examination test. Then I'll either contact a holding company or get sponsored for two years. Then I'll take the Managing Broker Exam. 

Question 1: What is a good study guide that you would recommend to me? No class is necessary because I'm licensed to practice law.

Question 2: Is there anything else I should be thinking about?

Question 3: Any success stories you'd like to share with me?

Thanks in advance!
