Annuities are considered Life Insurance, so if the agent isn't selling a variable annuity, he doesn't have to be securities licensed.
The only accounts that can be rolled into a 401k plan are other old 401k plans. You can not co-mingle the accounts. Once you rollover a 401k to an IRA or Annuity, you forfeit the right to put the money back into another 401k plan. However, there is really no benefit to putting the money back into a 401k plan in the first place. The money you roll in isn't matched, and your investment choices are typically somewhat limited with an employer plan.

The property investment group is good, but there are better options out there. You should invest your money in a 401k or retirement fund. Be sure not to roll over your 401k too early.
You mean qualified. It refers to the tax status of the funds inside it. If funds are qualified that is IRS/investment lingo for pre tax money, such as money in a 401K, IRA, or 403b. Non qualified obviously is money that income tax has already been paid on. Taxes in an annuity are defered until you use the money. In a qualified annuity all of the money would be subject to income tax upon withdrawal. In a non qualified annuity only the gains would be taxed. But since it is tax deferred you pay your income tax rate, not capital gains taxes. The original amount invested is not subject to tax when you withdraw it.

If the annuity came from prepaid tax money there would be no taxes to pay. etc.
