Investing with a Real Estate License
Hello BP,
I'm a soon to be real estate agent, I'm planning to start investing soon but with the exam for my license is closing in, I'm realizing that once I obtain my license it's a different game, so I want to know what are the things I should be aware of and how should I go about investing with my license, with that said I only have a couple of questions I want to ask to somebody who is a real estate agent and is investing into real estate; What are the pros and cons when it comes to real estate investing as an agent? Any advice for when I start? Is there any difference at all with having the license or not? I'm sorry if this sounds like a generic and obvious question I just want to be sure I'm not missing anything here, I know there are laws surrounding being an agent I just want to make sure I'm playing the game right.
