Is there a DU forum on all things real estate, such as getting your real estate license and working in the industry?

If not, where's the best place to post?

Your best bet is probably checking your state's particular requirements for a license. Ocelot II Yesterday #1

In my state you need to take 90 hours of pre-licensing classes, pass a state exam, and associate with a licensed real estate broker, but every state probably has its own rules.

We only need 77 hours over here. I just wanted to see if there's any real estate discussion on DU.

And some very interesting out of country buyers. I learned quickly that I had to wear many hats because each buyer or seller had their own set of circumstances so I had to know about state, local and county laws, mortgage requirements, environmental regulations. I had resources that I could rely on with titles, loans and zoning because it’s impossible to know everything! I learned a lot about people and my one thing that made my life easier was to make sure I was working with qualified buyers and motivated sellers..no one wants to spend time and marketing dollars spinning wheels. Best wishes to you
