Real estate license for Missouri
Could anyone tell me how long it would take to get a realtor license for Kansas city MO?
Would it be better to get a license before I start investing, jump in and invest then try and get it, or not worry about it at all?

@Ryan Guffey - yes, get it! We have literally saved tens of thousands of dollars, close to 100k, by having our license and keeping the purchase commission and not paying the 3% of a sale commission. Plus you have the ability to pull accurate comps and info only available to agents. If you want DM me. We run a brokerage that specializes in working with investors and all our agents our investors. Our goal is to help them become better investors (we have been full time investing for 3.5 years - 68 flips, 7 rentals, PM company, etc...) so they can better help their clients better and grow their own portfolio.
