Do I Need My RE License To Be A Successful Investor?

I have recently been debating this with my father and other newbie investors. I argue that the knowledge I gain from the course and the access to the MLS is worth the upfront and yearly costs, along with the added paperwork. I would love to hear the opinions of more experienced investors!

    @Chase Lowry Not really. You don't learn much from the classes that really help you in the day to day. The costs add up quick and you need to sell at least 2 properties a year just to break even. You can be successful both routes but it depends on your personality
