Obtaining a Real Estate License as a College Student

[Sam Steadman]

Hi everyone,

This is my first post EVER on Biggerpockets. I'm excited to be here!

 I have listened to a lot of podcasts and read blogs about the pros and cons of getting a real estate license. I was just curious as to what you all thought about it. I am still in college and planning to buy a residential property 3-6 months after I graduate this upcoming spring. I would love to get a jump start into my investing career and was wondering if the initial/maintenance costs of being a licensed real estate agent were worth it when acquiring a residential property.

Also, I am from Minnesota and would love to hear from anyone on the site who has a MN real estate license and what they think.
