Most areas are zoned for either commercial or residential use. In most jurisdictions you cannot run a business from a residential property. Some jurisdictions make exceptions for certain professionals such as attorneys or CPAs that don't generate a lot of additional vehicle and foot traffic. None would allow you to run a dealership, however.
Most states limit the number of vehicles that a private citizen can sell or trade in a year without a dealer's license; typically 3 or 4.
To get a dealer's license, you'll need a business license from your local city, town or county first. That won't be granted if you are planning on running a dealership from your home unless you get a zoning variance. Don't expect your neighbors to support you on that application! Don't waste your time trying to scam that one, either. The agencies that grant licenses have access to databases that identify whether the address you are using is zoned for business or residential use.
In order to do what you are wanting to do you're going to need an address in a commercial zone first. You won't be able to legally run that from your home.

You would have to check on your State laws, and Town By-Laws, but mast everyone sells a car off from their front lawn once and a while, your local laws would require you to get a dealers license after you sold a certain amount of cars in 1 year.
