What Kind of NYS Real Estate License Do I Apply For?
I am an Attorney in NY State and I am interested in starting a company to flip houses. I see that there are several different options for the type of license that I can apply for; individual, limited liability company, Associate Broker, etc.
I am not sure at this time if I would want to change careers and work as an agent full time. Right now I would like access to the MLS and the ability to start looking for properties. My company is not named/ no papers have been filed at this point. I intend to have a company name/ papers done by the time I actually do a deal but want the license sooner than that.
What kind of license should I apply for in the meantime/ should I wait until I have those papers for the company in place? What is the best option for a scenario where I do want to be an agent full time for a company (like Keller Williams for example) and what are the best options for a scenario where I do not what to be an agent full time?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!
