Does anyone have family or a close friend that might be willing to answer a couple questions? All I'm getting is thats not our job talk to this person and then they give me a fake #

Can you call a AAA office and ask their DMV group? AAA is actually willing to help unlike the DMV.

might try going to online site, might be able to get info there

DMV not helping I’m shocked.

Got the same thing when I bought my truck in Iowa and tried to register it here. They fought me because I didn’t have a lien holder.

So the short story is I'm trying to get my dealers license but chasing my tail everything i read says I can't get a dealer license if I don't have a lot can't rent or lease a lot without a dealers license. Trying to get a straight answer

 

[beerrun]

We have had phone interviews with the DMV and they say they will email the info as soon as we hang up and we never hear from them

I have thought about getting a dealers license with all the crap I have. Some say its worth, others have said it's not. I believe there is also a bond that you have to post.

 

[TimeBandit]

Bond, yes. anything else I forgot. My roommate in the 80's had one.

You have been reaching out to the Occupational Licensing dept, right?
.
I'd guess you'll likely need at least a year long lot lease to match the licensing period.

So we have a property that will do a 1yr lease but will not do it without a dealer license. Its just chasing our tail

Sounds like getting credit when your young lol.

We can’t give you a credit card because you need credit. But to get credit you need to have credit. Atleast early 90s it was like this.

Type up a LOI that asks for a contingency period of 1-3 months for you to get your license and nullifies the lease if you can't get it within XXX amount of days from lease signing.

I did that back in 2000. Used an office building my dad owned at the time. Was all super easy then but I'm sure it has all changed.

I would guess that the DMV has their own rules, and that Anyone that's leasing a property, has Their Own (separate) rules as well.

The property owner would rather lease to an established business, than someone with no track record? Seems fair to me.
