questions to ask before getting real estate license in CA

Albert L.

What questions should I be asking myself in deciding whether it's worth spending the time/money on getting a real estate license in CA?

Context: 

-I'm in my late 20's

-I'm looking to passively grow a portfolio of cash flowing rental property over the next 10-15 years. I have one property in Cleveland and would be planning to stay out-of-state for the next 1-3 years as I learn the ropes on REI

-I don't have much saved up currently

-I have about 4-6 hours free time for the next year or so that I can dedicate to studying. After that, I think I'd be willing to dedicate a Saturday or two showing homes, putting the license to use but it definitely wouldn't be anything full time. 

-In continuation of above, this would not replace my W2

Love to hear any other thoughts/perspectives/feedback. 

Thank you.
