Worth getting my Real Estate license?
I just purchased my first property in August and I am currently doing a house hack. I live in in the Jackson Hole, Wy area and housing is very expensive and appreciating quickly. Is it worth pursuing my license to be my own agent in future to take advantage of the rising prices and use the commission in my favor to negotiate future properties?

@Joe Dvorak Yes, it is! The main reason I got my license was to save on my own real estate purchases. The savings alone is worth it but it turned in to so much more after I got it! Take the plunge, you’ll be glad you did!
