CA Real Estate License

[Bethany Corey]

I am just starting out in real estate, mostly learning from Bigger Pickets and reading business books. Until I get my CA driver's license in a few weeks, I will not be able to "drive for dolars", go to the courthouse steps to look for potential deals, or go to meetups and the like. Getting my driver's license will be my big break, and I will begin the makings of a business.

However, I am also seeking my CA Real Estate License, which may prove just as helpful as a DL. I want to become my own agent and invest using the MLS. I have an idea of which school I am going to go through (Kaplan), but I wanted to check with licensed realtors before I spend the money. Are there any online "schools" that agents on BiggerPockets would recomend? Which ones are the least expensive, yet at least meet the bare requirements?
