Real Estate License - Best way to get one in Ontario Canada

[Alex White]

I've read having your License is a great tool for starting out, learning some of the business, and opens up tools and resources. two questions for either bird dogging, becoming a landlord, or considering house flipping,

1)  Is this a good step to take early on.

2) is there a simple path to take to get access to the resources? ie having the licence but not intending to actually become an agent.
