However in MD it appears assigning a contract is perfectly legal. Yes I have read the code. I would be curious as to the wording of the Tennessee code. Not that any small investor wants to go there but I wonder if it would hold up to a serious court challenge.

I have had a number of people dispute me about bird dogging being illegal but sure enough I asked the executive director of the MD Real Estate Commission and got the same answer you did.

However in MD it appears assigning a contract is perfectly legal. Yes I have read the code.

I would be curious as to the wording of the Tennessee code. Not that any small investor wants to go there but I wonder if it would hold up to a serious court challenge.

I think it's more of a benefit than a detriment in most cases. But others will vehemently disagree with me. But the best of both worlds in my opinion would be to have your SPOUSE licensed and active in your business. :-) But either being licensed, or having someone VERY close to you who is, definitely has it's benefits, including a fast track to relevant industry news, like you mentioned. ...jp<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('90','JP Moses'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('90','JP Moses','<a href=\"#comment-88\" rel=\"nofollow\">@Jeff<\/a> - Different people will offer different opinions on the upsides and downsides of being licensed as an agent for investors.

I'm not in TN, but it does reinforce the idea that in the future or near future it may be wise to have a real estate license as an investor. Sometimes it's better to be on the inside when the laws change (or in your case - currently on the books)than waiting in line to get in. In Ohio it takes 120 classroom hours before you can sit for the exam. So getting a license isn't something that happens quickly. You always need to plan ahead if you want to CYA.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('88','Jeff'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('88','Jeff','Thanks for the tip!\r\n\r\nI\'m not in TN, but it does reinforce the idea that in the future or near future it may be wise to have a real estate license as an investor.
