Personal property becomes real estate when it is permanently affixed to land or a building, transforming it into part of the real property. This process often occurs through actions such as construction, installation, or attachment of items that enhance the property's value, such as buildings, fences, or fixtures. Once affixed, these items are considered real estate and are subject to different legal regulations and ownership rights compared to personal property.

If you are going to start business as a real estate agent or real estate investment company then it's mandatory to have a license. If you are planning to make personal private investments in real property you do not need to be licensed as an agent. The agent license is simply for those who want to run a business promoting other people's properties for a fee. If you are going to buy the property and rent it or resell it there is no license required. You can also use other strategies with investing that do not require a license and that do not require purchase of property.
