Tenants, Landlords, and Leases: Master the Rental Market | Self-Paced Online CE

Serve the Rental Market. Expand Your Business. Become the Leasing Expert.

3-Hour Maryland Continuing Education Elective Course | Category F – Professional Enhancements for Practicing Licensees | Self-Paced Online |

Not everyone can or wants to purchase a home—and that's where the rental market presents tremendous opportunity. This Maryland continuing education elective course provides comprehensive training on the three core components of the rental market: tenants, landlords, and leases. Whether you're representing landlords looking for quality tenants or helping renters find their next home, this course gives you the knowledge to serve this often-overlooked segment of real estate.

The industry devotes extensive resources to sales education, but very little to leasing. This course fills that gap by diving into the whys and wherefores of renting—the processes, the people, and the paperwork—so you can confidently serve landlords and tenants while building another revenue stream for your business.
