As a REI, would it be beneficial to acquire a RE license?

[Account Closed]

I'm looking to invest in rentals. What would be some pros and cons to getting a real estate license?

There are many schools of thought on this subject but here's mine.

This really depends on your goal as an investor and how you are going to reach those goals. Most people say becoming a real estate agent isn't necessary because there are plenty of agents who are amazing at their job. Essentially this will allow you to focus on your end of the deal, whether that's rehab, management, or anything you can bring to the table.

Personally, I have decided to pursue my license to gain more insight into the real estate world because what's wrong with having more knowledge? 

Feel free to contact me with any of your REI questions. Good luck Matthew!
