I Am Burning To Know The Answer To This! (RE License or Investor)
I want to be a successful RE investor, but I cannot decide if it would be better to become a Real Estate investor with or without a license? (Pros and Cons)
My short-term goal is to generate a cashflow of $5,000 or more on a monthly basis...
My RE vehicle is Multi-family (Duplex, Triplex, etc.) and/or apartments buildings/complex (50 units and up). My secondary vehicle is wholesale; which I have begun my research on first to at least generate some income.
When I say, "I am new" to this industry; I know nothing... But my drive is out of this world... This is a priority in my life... (I reside in Orlando, Fl.)
Side Note: I was plotting to buy the Renatus Education. For the record, I can only afford the $400 down - $125 a month plan. (I refuse to market the education. My focus would be the education.)

Get licensed. It opens up many more doors. You can buy the great deals and list the other ones for FMV. It also gives you more credibility in the eyes of the public.
