Should I get my real estate license??

[Sawyer Martin]

Hello… a little about me so you can understand where i’m coming from.

I invest in Lancaster PA area.

I am 20 years old I bought my first single family rental 1 1/2 years ago. and i am settling on 3 townhouses at the end of this month. I was able to afford the town houses(400k) by paying off my first single family, and refinancing, with my job as a plumber making 60-70k. I am self managing and planning on doing that on all my rentals considering i am competent in construction and the business side.

I would like to BRRR my next property(and live in it) in the next year or 2, and continuing to BRRRR to build a portfolio. and i would like to find properties that need a good amount of rehab, doing what I can myself considering my job is flexible and again I am competent in construction.

I have been considering getting my real estate licenses online, but don't know if it would even be worth it for me to do that? would i be able to be the agent on my own deals? what kind of deals would i find on the MLS? or is it just better to find deals on the market? I am mostly looking for a better way to find deals in the future and i thought maybe getting my license now while i am not as busy might help me down the road.

Bear with me i am very much a beginner and i am open too any information you might have that could potentially help me, i would greatly appreciate that.

Thank you in advance! If there is anything i could do to benefit you let me know, i am very passionate about real estate and want to learn it all!
