Should I get my real estate license?

[Dylan Patel]

Hi everyone, 

I am debating on whether or not I should obtain my real estate license. I started my own business in February of 2020 and would like to expand that in the future as my main priority. Secondly, I want to start investing in real estate whether that be residential to small multifamily properties as I have a strong desire to start to build a real estate portfolio. If I got my license I would like to be a part-time real estate agent. Before spending money and time to obtain a license I would like to understand the different pros and cons others have seen of being a real estate agent with a main focus of being an investor. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

How many hours a week do you put into your business? Building a business is hard work and unless you have a lot of free time, I would not recommend getting your real estate license. There are a lot of costs and reoccurring fees for real estate agents. If you want to invest in rental properties, just find a savvy agent in your area to hustle for you.
