Real Estate License - best way to learn?

[Michelle Verdugo]

I own a rental property but want to expand my knowledge of real estate investing. I've spent tons of time reading here on BP and reading books but I like structured learning. Should I pursue a real estate license to learn everything? Thoughts? Thanks!

Personally I have found that getting my real estate license has definitely increased my knowledge in all of real estate including terms, contracts, and just the overall process of a deal from start to finish. It is also great for networking with other agents, investors, lenders, contractors and many others that are beneficial to real estate investors.

Having your license can be very time consuming with classes and studying to passing your test and also to providing good service for your clients ie working weekends and evenings.
