Couples License - Yes or No

[Mitchel Schwindt]

My wife retired from her career after 21 years. She is passionate about real estate and loves the planning process around flipping. She also has connections to the healthcare world and can see using a real estate license to help colleagues in the future.

I am a newbie and have done 3 deals.  The concepts in the course are interesting and valuable particularly around real estate law, negotiating, and contracts.  I'm looking at the certification as a valuable piece of education but don't see myself selling other people's properties.

Are there any negatives to both of us obtaining licensure? My next deal is in another state. Plan to acquire some properties in that state over the next 12 to 24 months. Will there be a benefit of obtaining licensure in the state other than in which a person resides?

I know this topic has been hashed out for the last six years but I could not find a thread related to a husband and wife team.

Thanks in advance.
