Real Estate License , does it help?

[Donovan Allen]

Hi everyone,  I’m just starting out and trying to find my niche.  My fiancé and I are thinking about trying to finance a flip with hard money and about 30k of our own.   In an effort to minimize costs and maximize our learning curve we are considering one or both of us becoming a licensed real estate agent.  The cost of the classes seems reasonable and it seems like the return on investment would be worth it.    I was thinking it might help secure deals with hard money lenders also.   

Please feel free to share any experience or insight.
