Realtor/ Real Estate Agent and Investor

[Sayo Owoseni]

So, I've been getting mixed reviews from people. I was interested in getting my real estate salesperson license / becoming a realtor. However, many people have told me that I shouldn't as an investor because of the need to disclose. 

On the contrary, brokers and realtors that I have spoken to have not seemed to really have an issue. (Most of them seem to have a spouse that's also an investor and isn't an agent) What do you all think about this, should I get my Texas Real Estate Salesperson license?

It's a personal decision that only you can make. 

I am both a broker and investor and I would not have it any other way. I have the ability to access the data needed to research properties at a moment's notice and don't have to depend on another agent/broker.  For me, the benefits far outweigh the negatives.
