Best way to get my license?

[Josh Mitchell]

Hello all, So, I am in a position where I could use some advice from the experts of BP. I've recently graduated from school, and am working full time in a marketing role in Atlanta, GA. In my spare time, I have become very interested in the world of real estate investing, interested enough where I am considering pursuing a real estate license. I am fortunate to have a family that is very involved in buying/renting/selling properties, and know that there would be an opportunity for me to step in as the family's agent, but I am trying to figure out what the best process to achieving that license would be. I also have a friend (and business partner) who is planning on listing his home in Alabama in December (to save any capex taxing), and also have an opportunity to be the agent for that property. With me working a full time job, and having an interest in obtaining a license in multiple states, what would you all consider to be the best strategy of fulfilling the hours requirements and testing requirements for my real estate license? Also, if you have any general advice for my situation, that would be great too! If this whole thing works out, I could definitely foresee some sort of a career change in the future.
