Should real estate investors get their license?
Is the time worth getting a real estate license worth the benefits? Do most of you investors have one?

Hi @Serge DuLaudAllemans, I think it really depends on the situation. However, there seems to be a lot more pros than cons to it. I personally do not have it because I am a mortgage lender and have realtor partners that I work with.
If you had the time and money to get it done I don't think you would be unhappy that you did so. Even just having that extra access to the MLS could be worth it. You'll also be able to go see any house on your own time and won't have to worry about someone showing it to you. Finally you'll save money on each transaction.
