Getting a CA broker's license with minimal agent experience?
I'm in California, and I self-manage my own rental properties. I also independently manage properties for family members. I have my agent's license, but I haven't hung it with any broker yet. As far as I can tell, that's not so kosher... My family members want me to continue managing for them, but I want to be able to do it legitimately. The way I'd like to do this is by getting my own broker's license, which requires 2 years full time experience under a broker. The sticking point for me to hang my license somewhere is that I'm independently acting as a landlord and PM. And also, to be honest, my desire to act as an agent doing purchases/sales is pretty low. I'm starting to look into brokerages like eXp Realty that might not require a certain number of transactions per year, but just having time under a broker might not be enough to meet requirements. Does anyone have any advice/suggestions?

This sounds like to me you want to have a pilots license without going to flight school. I wouldnt hop in the seat of the plane you are flying.
