Should I get my real estate license to buy investment properties?

[Abigail Hansen]

I would love to get some thoughts on whether or not getting your real estate license and representing yourself when buying investment properties is really worth it? I've been swaying back and forth for a couple of months now with this. I know getting my license if anything will help me gain valuable insight and experience. However, I also know there are costs to being an agent. Would love feedback, thanks!
