Getting a real estate license

If you're looking to get a real estate license, it's important to know that you have to do it on a state level.  Every state license has slightly different details from one another, however I will only focus on getting a real estate license for Indiana.

Obtaining an Indiana real estate license requires completing real estate courses, totalling fifty four which can be taken online.  Following that, applicants must pass the Indiana real estate license exam.  Applicants must be at least 18, and must have a fairly clean criminal background.

Mountains of Oregon

One thing Indiana is not well known for is its majestic mountains.  It probably is the, if not one of the, flattest states in the country, and even the occasional hill is something Hoosiers can marvel at.  That is why I wanted to spend some time and write about one of the best mountain ranges in the country, that is fairly under-appreciated and unrecognized.

Known officially as the Oregon Coast Range, and sometimes the Pacific Coast Range, it extends over 200 miles from the Columbia River south to the middle fork of the Coquille River.  The range creates a rain shadow for the Willamette Valley that sits west of the mountain range making it an excellent place for agriculture.

There are many mountains with great hiking trails.  The tallest mountain in the range is Marys Peak standing at 4,097 feet.  The area is host to many large tree varieties, which brings in the logging industry in both private and government owned forests.  Despite that, black bear, elk, deer, beaver, and many species of birds are abundant in the region.

If you are ever considering living out in the area, take a look at Corvallis Oregon homes for sale, all of which are closely located in the Willamette Valley.
