Investor, Thinking of Getting Real Estate License

[Randy Forcier]

I finally have enough properties with plans to purchase more that I’m starting to think about getting my Real Estate License...

I think it makes sense in terms of access to data on the MLS, both present and past, ability to make quick offers and negotiate with Listing Agents, and of course earn commission on my own deals.

What are everyone’s thoughts on this? Any reason not to?

One wrinkle is that I’m also a Residential Loan Officer and primarily get referrals from Realtors. I don’t know if it’s possible but I’d prefer to keep me getting my Real Estate License on the DL as to avoid losing out on referrals due fear of future conflicts. It’s a tricky situation. Any thoughts on how to do this would be great.

Thanks!
