Oregon Broker’s License

[Patrick Sloan]

I’ve recently connected with someone I believe could be a viable mentor and his first suggestion is that I get my broker’s license, not necessarily to get in to the business of selling houses but instead to gain access to the MLS and community of brokers nationally. What are your thoughts on this? My goal here is to develop and grow a portfolio of cash flowing properties do you agree with making a first step? Also, the state of Oregon requires 160 hours of education prior to sitting for the exam do you have any recommendations on companies that provide this service? I am assuming it would be the equivalent of a test prep class?
