Birddogs: License Requirement

I commented in another website about asking a couple of friends of mine that through the day are working in neighborhoods to let me know if they see any vacant or distressed properties. In return I'd give them $10 or so for each lead ( these are people I know well and would explain what to look for). They would not contact the homeowner, not look up any information on the property, not represent me in any way merely report a house on 123 Main Street looks to be vacant. I was hot with a barrage (helpful) that I would be breaking the law unless I and/or he had a real estate license. I'm certainly no exert in this area so any helpful comments to keep my cart out of the ditch would be helpful.

Doug
