Need to know if getting a realtor license would help ?

[Jered Noland]

My wife and I are about to dive into becoming real estate investors. We’ve been remodeling our current home in hopes to sell for a profit. With that money we want to start investing . We are new to BiggerPockets and were wondering if we should get a realtor license? Any suggestions would be a huge help. Thank you

@Jered Noland unfortunately it depends!

How many properties are you looking to purchase? If you just want a couple it probably doesn't make sense to spend thousands of dollars and a few weeks of your time. However, if being an agent is what you want to do to grow your business, then definitely get it. 

Words of caution: sometimes investors try to look for various things to do because they're scared to pull the trigger and buy a property. Don't let getting your license (if you do decide on that route) distract you for your real estate goals. 

Best of luck!
