Hi Friends,

I'm new to real estate. I was thinking about getting my real estate license. Can you recommend anywhere fast and affordable? Is online as good as in person?

Thanks,

Laurence in Los Angeles

UCLA has an extension program you can take night classes.  And, most of them are online as well.  Personally, I enjoy an environment in a classroom with the opp to network.  the online classes actually seemed harder, but everyone is different. (this was 10 years ago- might have changed a bit)

You might want to consider WHY do you want a RE license?  You want to represent buyers and sellers or are you more interested in doing your own deals?  Pros and cons with both.
