Is it worth it to get a real estate license?

[Stephen Beckwith]

I am just starting out and still in the educational phase, but my goal is to acquire 10 buy and hold rentals over the next 10 years. I would also love to do some fix and flips, but that is still up in the air.

My question is, do you think it’s worth the time, currently 180 hours in Texas, to get my license? If so, is there any reason to wait until I have some deals under my belt or should I just go for it?
