Getting a real estate license

[Peter Bogdon]

Is getting a real estate license on the side while attending college beneficial for long term investing? What are the steps for acquiring one and how long does it take?

[Christine Kankowski]

Getting your license is great. There are fees, however, if you want access to the MLS (differs by state) If you can represent yourself, you definitely save the money on the agents, just make sure you know what you are doing. buyers doesn' t pay the agent, so when you are buying, you might as well use one if you are a newbie.
