First Flip Achievable in Lincoln Nebraska?

[Hayden Prather]

I'm 22, just paid my truck and credit card off. Getting closer to getting completely out of debt. Also have been hustling none stop mowing and rebuilding dirt bikes I have about 3 grand in my hand so far. My question is, should I invest into getting my realtor license? I have the start up money to go full time and have the ambition and hunger for none stop success. I would think this would be a great way to save up about 20 grand for my first flip plus all the knowledge and deals that come along with it. Opinions?

@Susan Knight I do not have my license. I gave it up bc I hated it. If you can find an brokerage that will let you hang your license there for a very minimal fee-- it might be worth it. We have people here in PA that do that. They are licensed but don't really act as realtors. They just do investing and have the license for MLS access. But they also have to pay the brokerage office to hang the license, pay for MLS access, pay their licensing yearly fees, pay for continuing ed to keep the license... the list goes on! So while MLS access is nice. It is not necessary if you create solid relationships with local agents. And if you hate it -- like I did-- I would focus on that. I personally have never purchased a property off of the MLS so to me having it doesn't benefit me that much.
