License or no License

[Stephen Dominick]

I checked out BP about a year ago, (I have always love real estate) but continued with my 9 to 5 or more like 4 to 4 daily day job. I have made the most of my 2.5 (one way) daily commute to listen to the awesome podcast that Joshua and Brandon have provided. Very entertaining and super informative. I fancy myself as a buy and hold strategy.  Listening to Podcast 48 with Darren and  #80 with Jonna, both being "investor friendly agents". I was wondering if anyone thought that getting your license first to learn the business and the networking that comes along with it was a good approach to learning the Biz as well as the market place that you hope to invest in yourself.  Thoughts are appreciated . I've signed up for my real estate license classes anyhow, I always wanted it anyway, but is being a "investor friendly" agent really in that of a big demand anymore and will the hanging agency really be interested in that specialty.   Thanks for the input and big love for BP!!!!
