I would like to put my home for sale available to the residents of california who are looking to move to arizona. Is it legal to have a realestate agent from california sell my home in arizona?
Great thanks all.

Only if the agent you pick is licensed to sell real estate in both California and Arizona.
Usually a real estate agent is licensed to sell in one state only.
You would do best to list with an Arizona realtor, and ask them to advertise in California too.

I will be pursuing schooling in realestate to earn my license to act as a realtor, how do they get paid.?

I am in louisiana and am going to a real estate school here to pursue real estate to get my louisiana sales license to be be licensed here in la to sell real estate. how would i get paid? what is on the exam to get your license? I am just 20 soon to be 21 in March but i want to specialize in selling luxury properties.

A realtor gets paid by selling homes. Usually a percentage of the sale of each home goes to the company the realtor works for and they have their own determined amount of that as their pay. You may get a small base salary, but to really make any money and to last in the business, you need to sell houses and get people buying. Right now the economy is so rocky in the real estate business. A lot of people are leaving to get work elsewhere because they aren’t able to make it. Of course, things are bound to turn around at some point but the question is when. It isn’t a bad thing to consider getting a license, but I would have a fallback strategy so you can pay the bills if you can’t move any houses right away. Maybe begin part time with income from another source to supplement and then as the market picks up you could shift to full time.

does anyone know if a realestate agent should give you a receipt for the downpayment for a home?

If you are talking earnest money, most real estate agents give you a copy of the check along with the earnest money agreement. If you are talking actual down payment when you close, that is the function of the title company.

i want to invest on realestate, preferebly a multifamily buiding to rent out. But when i look at the prices online they look to good to be true, there must be a catch somewhere they arent showing. If you know anything about investing on realestate can you please give me advice on this issue.

From 1996 to 2001 I bought 14 homes all foreclosures and/or distressed properties. I sold all but three of them. I now own 2-2 Family units and 1-single family unit. The one two family was a VA foreclosure, the other two family was from a man who wanted out of the rental business. I have now owned all of them between 12-15 years. Great Tax advantages, some headaches, but you must be ready to put money into them. 15 years Rental property owner.
