Obtaining RE Agent License

Daniel J Lopez
Posted

Hey guys! I’m currently active duty in the United States Marine Corps and seeking advice about obtaining my RE Agent license. I understand that it’s a lot to take in but what do I really need to know and what I mean by that is do I really have to read the book from front to back? I’m currently stuck on that because that’s what I been doing and I want to see what y’all did to get where y’all are at now. Thanks in advance!

@Daniel J Lopez  My thought is make sure you have excellent credit.  If  you don't get there between now and then.  Bank up as much money as you can between now and then so you have a nice cash roll to get started with down payment, closing costs, expenses, repairs. 

Lots of people do it, but I think it is best to invest in what you know.  I think it is tough to do long distance.  Personally I would wait until you know where you will be when you get out and as long as it is a place that is landlord friendly and the numbers work, invest there.
