    Hello everyone... I am a one man ISO and partnered with multiple lenders, do i need to be licensed in Cali? If so, what is the process? Thanks.

    Yes. You need to register with NMLS, and it will require a foreign qualification in CA which costs $800/year. It's an online process, they need a lot of stips to prove you're in business, who you are, etc etc etc. They also require net worth of $25,000 and a surety bond that you have to pay someone to create. I don't remember if there are any other yearly fees or not. I once posted on here if someone wanted to split it with me, feel free to reach out.

    However, because I'm also a one-man-show, so it's not so common to get a CA deal that I need to submit to the A-paper places that require a license. (Credibly and IOU would be the exception though.)

    Private money for real estate doesn't need you to have a license, they operate under their license. They just put in the fees and pay you as a commission after closing. You are NOT listed on the HUD, final closing statement - only the lender is. You might find super brokers can do that same thing. Reach out to a couple super brokers and ask them.

    As far as I know, you do not need to be licensed if the funder is licensed, although some funders want their CALI brokers licensed as well. According to Debanked, Cali may close the loophole in a couple of years. There was a lawyer interviewed on Debanked that confirmed this in a video interview.
