@Dylan Jeluso, where are you feeling you don't have control?  If it is working with subs, a GC license won't help that in any practical way.

At the end of the day, it depends on what you are looking to achieve.  I have had both my GC license and real estate license, and have let both lapse.  Like Mija noted, they cost real money and time to maintain, and I simply was not deriving enough value from either.

I had no intention of GC-ing jobs for clients, which is about all it would have allowed me to do that I can't do already.  And the agent license was same, I didn't want to represent clients, so the ongoing cost and time investment was not worth it.

I had never heard about lenders allowing higher LTV, or anything like that simply because you have a license. And finally, while there are likely some pro accounts that will only give you discounts if you are licensed, most will let anyone sign up, and are often based on volume spent at that store anyways.

Thanks for sharing your insight. I’m still new to the industry and learning different ways to approach my goals, so hearing your experience is really helpful. I appreciate the perspective!

 Having a Real Estate License will also help. 

I would focus on being and agent with the specialty in investing. You can work with investors, make great relationships, learn and earn $$ on the way. Most agents don't work with investors so you can do well if you take the time to learn and be good at it. BP, YT and podcasts are a great resource. Also attend local meet ups
