Real Estate License

[Denis Deleon]

I'm new to RE investing. So far I've got one property but isn't that where everyone starts? I have a general question: Should I be considering obtaining my real estate license? In my state (NJ) and from what I've heard if I obtain my associates license I need to work with an realtor to keep it active or to have access to the MLS.

What's the scoop. Go for the license or wait? Do I have the rules for a RE associate mixed up?
