Real Estate Licensing
I have heard it both ways for investors...do Not get your real estate license because you are held to a higher standard, more disclosures, etc. And Get you license. You have access to MLS yourself, training regarding laws, etc
What are your thoughts on this...?

License will only hold you to a higher standard if you are doing illegal activities...if everything you do is LEGAL you have nothing to be afraid of...
I got my license and the tools I use because of that are awesome. Full MLS access, plus free tools for CMA's, access to properties without relying to an agent, negotiating directly with the other side agent, plus you save money in commissions which will add up really quickly depending of the amount of transactions you will do each year.
