Real estate license pro or con

[Malachy Jackson]

Hi I am a new investor in Worcester ma area and was wondering if there was any draw back to getting my real estate license? Is there anything that I might miss out on do to the fact that I have one?

Please let me know your opinion/experience.

I'm not a REA and I have bought and or sold over 6 properties in the last year. I opted not to get my license due to the costs and professional duties that are required. Most REA's I know have a rental or two but they are also busy with their day job. They work weekends and evenings which take time from their families. They don't have a consistant income or good insurance plans. I don't really have any good reasons to get a license.
