Working with Realtors or Obtaining Real Estate License

[Evin Lynch]

Hey everyone, would love to get some feedback/perspective. I’m curious, for those of you who invest in real estate and have your real estate license, do you have a realtor represent you when buying properties or do you represent yourself on your own deals? What would be the advantages of using a realtor rather than representing yourself or vice versa? Finding a real estate agent who understands and enjoys working with investors has proven to be more difficult than I thought. At this point, I’m wondering if it would be worth the time and $350 to get my license and represent myself on any deals I do? I want to learn as much as I can about real estate and honestly, getting my license sounds like a fun challenge. Would love to hear everyone’s perspective on this. 

Thanks  in advance,

Evin
