Getting your Real Estate License in Todays Market

[Craig Smith]

Good morning BP Nation! I wanted to get some opinions on getting your real estate license in today's market for the purpose of finding deals to invest in for the purpose of flipping. Is it worth doing this still, considering the cost of fees each year. I'm in Baltimore Maryland and I'm trying to find the best way to get started in the investing business. I eventually want to start a property management company for future multi family properties I plan to acquire as well as manage properties for other investors. On the state of Maryland licensing website it states that you do not need to be a licensed broker to own a property management company but would it still be beneficial to have the knowledge of an agent to run the property management company successfully? Thank you in advance for any advice you have.
