As a beginning investor, should I get my Real Estate License??

[Kim Morris]

Hey Everyone!

I just turned 21 years old this month and I have been trying to get into real estate investing for the past couple of months. I've been watching and reading a lot about if I should get my license or not, but I'm still not absolutely positive what the right decision is. I see a lot of videos claiming not to because it "restricts" you in some ways when it comes to investing. My mother is also trying to get into investing as well. I'm wondering if when and if I get my license, will I have to work for someone else and not be able to do my own deals for a few years? I'm a little confused on the "being an agent and investor at the same time" concept. Also, if I did go on to get my license, should I aim to get my broker's license as soon as I can after that? My goal is to make millions and be my own boss (of course), I'm just not sure where exactly to start! I am from Georgia and will be doing majority of my work here. Hope to hear back! Thanks in advance!!!
