Getting Licensed in IL
Hey BP Universe,
Im considering getting my Real Estate license in IL during the quarantine. What tips, advice, or thoughts do you have to being a licensed Real Estate Investor?

Hey! Hope you're staying safe and calm in this quarantine. Being a licensed investor can be extremely beneficial if you leverage your license correctly. A lot of people say that MLS access is the best aspect about being a licensed investor because you can find more deals, but I have found that not to be true. Being licensed gives you the option to list a seller's property if the numbers don't work for you on a deal. If you get a lead and end up not wanting to buy, instead of throwing the lead away, you can list the home for them on the market.
This is a great time to do some research and self development so I think looking into getting licensed is a great idea!!
