Getting RE license at what point

[Michael Plante]

LookIng for opinions

Have had my license in NY, FL and NC 

All expired many years ago

Only from the point of view of purchasing property and getting a share of the selling agent commission 

Selling I have no problem doing that with no agent so it would only be saving us money on purchases

Figure 7% average commission split between listing and selling agent.  

Also give a set amount or percentage to broker you keep your license with.   At what dollar amount of purchases per year would it be worth it to get for you to get a license?
