Is it worth it to get my real estate license?
Hey BP!!
I’m just starting out and slowing taking steps to REI. I’m a pro member with a regular day job. I’ve been thinking lately that maybe my best entrance into real estate is through getting my license and becoming an agent.
I’m currently renting with a 12 month lease and have nights and weekends off. I figure if I get my license I can work as an agent in my off time to bring in extra money but more importantly to LEARN the business.
I have very little knowledge about the REI Industry and thought thIs would be the best way to learn.
Thoughts?
