Opinions Please!
Hey agents and brokers!
Does holding a license make wholesaling in particular (and investing in general) easier or harder? Do disclosure rules and standards of practice effect your ability to function as an investor? I've heard arguments for and against. I'd like to get the opinions of my fellow BP'ers who are also licensed.
Let's hear from you!
Gary

I was a wholesaler for a few years then had to get licensed bc the company I worked for made me and I am glad they did. I have made more money and had more opportunities because of being licensed. It also gives you more credibility. There is no downside. Regarding disclosure, you should have nothing to hide so its not an issue.
