Well you have to take RE classes eighter online or at a live school. Take fingerprints for a FBI backround check. Pass the Kentucky realestate exam. Pick a broker to work for and acquire E&O insurance. Prices vary on schooling but fees for tests and such are pretty cheep. I used theceshop.com for my edu because I work full time and they 100% let you go at your own pace. Make sure whatever school you pick is acceptable for Kentucky. Go to krec.ky.gov for info in more detail.

    Thanks @David Espinosa

    Do you have to work for a broker? 

    Can you just "freelance" acting as an agent for what you buy and sale?

    You have to work for a broker no way around that..... But on that note you should be able to find investor friendly brokers. If you are doing purely to save 3% your broker gets the 3% and you get whatever you negotiate for your cut.... If that makes sense.

    Once you have worked for a broker for 2 years you can take more classes then take the brokers test then become a broker. If I'm understanding it correctly. Then you can be on your own. But the 2 years has to be "full time working" not just on the side type work.

    @Matt Bailey I used Real Estate Express and would recommend them. It is an all online course and was only like $300.
