License or No License?
Hey everyone. I know this topic has probably been debated 1000 times, but did want to provide my feedback as I'm currently taking the Real Estate Salesman course.
I’ve always listened to the pros and cons of getting your real estate license as an investors, and have come to the resounding conclusion of YES!!
I should be taking my test in about 3 weeks or so. The first couple of weeks of class... VERY tedious and boring for my senses. However, once we got into the meat of things so to speak…, lots of great information on the different types of mortgages, contracts, roles as lenders, realtors, qualifications for easements, occupations, ..
The whole course actually opened my eyes more as an investor than I thought it would. It helped provide a valuable foundation to UNDERSTANDING YOUR PRODUCT, which I think gets overlooked a lot of times in the pursuit of making money as quickly as possible.
So, I highly recommend it to anyone looking to become a real estate professional, or someone just serious in acquiring a good amount of properties. My initial intent was merely for the MLS access. But, the course has proven to be a valuable educational tool and far more than I expected.
Good luck!
