Agent’s license? (A little more specific)

[Cody Smith]

I'll try to keep this question simple.... do you think I can benefit from getting my license? I am planning to become a full time agent in 3-4 years either way, as soon as I separate from the military. This will be my primary income while I build my portfolio. I have further refined my closer goals to include building my wholesale business to allow myself access to deals which will either be wholesaled to provide capital for buy and hold, or just become buy and hold if the deal makes sense. Either way, I want an acquisitions based business. That said, I am imagining if I had my license, I would have the freedom of placing my own offers at free will, amending those offers, and representing myself in the deal if it comes to that end. Also I see the added bonus of acting as the seller's agent if they decide listing on the MLS is a better option. Does this make sense? Do you see any issues with this? Thank you!

@Cody Smith   Go for it.  Especially if you have down time now.   Figure out what you can do remotely.   Can you virtually wholesale or start a great military referral business.   You should know tons of people moving, so just have to match them up with realtors who will help them either where you live or where they're going or both and earn a referral fee.
