Agent or Broker? Also cheapest class in Mass
I'm new to REI and doing my homework before jumping in. I like the idea of being a real estate agent for the commissions on the transactions.
I'm not sure what other states do, but Massachusetts has an agent (salesperson) and broker licenses. Any suggestions if I should get the broker license? Or should I worry about that later? I do plan to form an LLC for the REI business.
Also, does anyone recommend a school (online/in person) in Mass?
