Real estate license / class/ school
Hello my name is Gaby and I am a newbie about to get my hands somewhat "dirty". I plan on buying a duplex in about 4 months ( when I find it). I am planning on taking the same path as most newbies which is living on one unit and renting the other. I plan on flipping about a yr after which will allow me time to do more research and learn more.
With that said, do you recommend real estate classes and or license? Is that a must in real estate investing? Will that help me more?
Thank you so much in advance for your time.

@Gabriela Gomez It's recommended you get your license sometime early on. Finding a investor friendly agent is a pain and communicating through an agent isn't exactly fun. Your license gives you unlimited access to the MLS as well as knowledge you wouldn't know otherwise. Plus the 3% commission doesn't hurt...
In short: Yes, you will need it.
