Should I get my Real Estate Liscense
I'm reading the book, the book on flipping houses and the author recommends getting my real estate lisence. I haven't done any deals yet but think I have 3 options to help me do my first deal this year. Would you recommend that I get my license? What are some pros and cons? More money, more knowledge, and access to the MLS are some of the obvious pros. I'm not looking to replace my job to be a real estate agent and with all the paperwork that was required to buy my current home, how do you know you're doing it right when you don't work for real estate company? Thanks in advance.

in my opinion everyone that invests should have their licenses. It only makes sense to and I don't understand the thought process of anyone that says otherwise. You have way more control over the data you receive/access and can submit offers way more efficiently. Not to mention you receive your commission on deals. Would love to hear opinions on why not to from other BP members. Have a great 2016! Much success!!!
