Use the 2-Week Quarantine Time to Get Real Estate License Online?

[Neil Bresnahan]

I am considering spending my two-week quarantine time taking the 60 hour course load required to get a Real Estate Salesperson license in my home state of Nebraska. I am a dentist, so obviously I can't work from home, but I need a productive way to spend this idle time. I currently do not own any real estate, but I plan to use my VA loan to house hack a duplex, triplex, or quadplex when I get out of the military in 2021. I found The Cooke School by doing a Google search; they have solid reviews and offer the 60 hours of course work required to sit for the licensing exam entirely online for $259. I realize that there will be more fees for the actual exam and for obtaining the license from the state as well. I would appreciate any input on this idea!
