Worth becoming an Agent?
Hi all, relatively new investor here. Wondering about opinions from more seasoned investors on whether you believe getting a real estate license solely for MLS access, listing my own units, identifying pre-market listing opportunities, etc. would be valuable and worth the investment. I would not plan to actually work for others. Thanks in advance!

Well, if you can find a place willing to let you hang your license when you don't want to make them any money - Knock yourself out.
THere's risk in taking you on since they're as responsible for your bad behavior as you are. In Portland, seen a couple of place burned by guys that just want to do their own thing.
