Working on Plan B
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. :)
