Getting My Real Estate License Yes/No

[Mason Peterson]

How vital is it for me to get my real estate license? I've had some people say it wasn't necessary for the investing side because it is much less time consuming to just hire an agent. And I've also had people say it is a great idea to gain experience and be able to do your own deals.

@Mason Peterson If you are only looking to invest in real estate and not looking to help people buy and sell than I would saying getting your license is not really necessary. I agree with what you have been hearing in that it is a great way to gain experience, as well as to gain a whole new perspective on the buying and selling process. However, if that is your only reason to do it, it may be better to try and focus your attention to learning more about investing side of things rather than the process of buying and selling.  I hope this helps.  Good luck with your investing.
