To get real estate agent license, or not to get...

[Mike O'Connor]

Hello All!

My business partner @Matt Wood  and I are, in the grand scheme of things, new to real estate investing in the Atlanta area. We are putting together our "5 year plan" to make this a full time career and have debated back and forth one question in particular that we would love to get outside opinions on... that is, should we both get our real estate agent license, or should we limit it to one of us? Someone that we have a great amount of respect for in this industry cautioned us against both getting getting our license as it would limit our ability to negotiate deals. We would love to hear insight on the pros and cons for both sides of the coin on this as well as what has/currently works for others!

Thanks in advance for the insight...

Mike
