Working on Plan B

Fabio Selmi
Posted

Hi all,

I have a dilemma this Sunday night and need your input. Although I hope to move to a new market and start investing in a few months, there's also a chance that I might get "stuck" in Orange County for a while. Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad place to be stuck in, lol.

I'd like to dip my toes into real estate and have a few months to invest in learning something new. Tonight, it seems to me that obtaining a real estate license in California is the best investment at the moment.

Unfortunately, California has no reciprocity rule, meaning my license would be useless if I moved elsewhere–which is quite disappointing.

Still, I think it would allow me to start working in real estate as an agent within a few months.

What do you think? Do you believe that having a license, even for just a few months, would be a good investment for the future, or would I be wasting my time and money?

Have a great Sunday night. I'll continue pondering this question while sipping some wine. :)

 a few months no.. if you dont plan to use it ever.. as for basic education in regards to vocabulatory etc. the pre license courses are cheap and you will learn things.
