Real estate classes before first purchase

Justin Hall
Posted

Hello, I'm curious if I should enroll in real estate classes and get my license before I make my first purchase. Is this a good way to go? My goal is to purchase rental property.

@Justin Hall

Nothing wrong with getting your license and then pursuing a property. With that being said, a much faster approach would be find an investor friendly real estate agent. Why? They are going to have relationships with lenders, title companies, contractors etc that will make your life much easier. Finding the right agent is what lead me to closing on my first property. Feel free to reach out if you would like to chat more about this.
