Maryland is one of the last states where Ground Rent still exists, creating a split ownership structure that the MREC tests throughout the property ownership section.
No national prep course was built around Maryland’s Ground Rent system, because that system no longer exists almost anywhere else in the country. Generic platforms teach property ownership from a standard fee simple model. Maryland’s exam tests a structure that requires state specific preparation, and AI tools trained on national content have no way to cover it accurately.
The License Professor is written by licensed Maryland professionals who know the PSI state portion’s content. Every question on Maryland property structures, Critical Area Act requirements, and disclosure obligations is grounded in Maryland law.
Three Topics that Trip Up Maryland Students Most
Ground Rent Nuances
Maryland is one of the few states where ground rent still exists, creating split ownership where the homeowner owns the building but leases the land — ground lease holders must register with the state, mail bills 60 days before payment, and can demand no more than three years of past-due rent.
Understanding Representation
Maryland requires Form 1003 covering seller’s agent, buyer’s agent, subagent, and dual agent relationships — the exam tests Maryland’s unusual retention of the "subagent" role (a licensee from another company who still works for the seller).
Critical Area Act Disclosures
Maryland’s Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Act restricts development within 1,000 feet of tidal wetlands with a mandatory 100-foot buffer — sellers must disclose whether property falls within this zone, and the "as is" disclaimer does not apply.
The Maryland Real Estate License Professor includes specialized deep dives for each of these.
