If you become an agent and find any deals on MLS or what's nice is that if you're licensed with the right brokerage and a good team the other agents will share their pr-market deals which can give you an advantage to get a better deal and it helps the selling agent make a commission sooner. If your partner is providing !00% of the financing and you bring him a deal as an agent I would work out your commission to be split until you may him back your agreed upon amount. It can be a disadvantage in general to disclose you're an agent because any home that you inquire on MLS and the selling agent find out you're also an agent and investor they become more laxidasical and rely on you to find out more information than if you were asking questions for your buyer who is not as well educated in real estate. From my experience as a new investor whenever I reach out to the selling agent in a potential property I make a deal where they represent me as their buyer so they get the full commission and I sell the house once it's flipped.

Hi Austin!

This is a great question. I'll be honest with you I questioned for a while if I should get my real estate license. But my logic for getting it was this..I'll have more book knowledge about real estate. This helps big time because I learned a lot of laws in the course and also have a better understanding about fancy terms used in real estate, the mortgage process, buying process, selling process, etc. I would recommend any real estate investor to have their real estate license even if there's no intent to practice as an agent for the mere fact the education will never go to waste from the course. Another benefit to being an agent is - if or when yu have the capital to purchase your own investments you can receive full commission from the buying side which could cover your closing costs and some carrying costs and then when you go to sell your investments you make more money from the sake side which the commission from the sale can also cover your carrying expenses and other incurred expenses. You'll also have access to multiple listing and other public records sources that can be advantageous to determining where to invest- and the information will be more accurate than zillow. The downside to being an agent as an investor is that you have to disclose (at least in NY) that you're an agent when acting in the hands of an investor and vice versa for disclosing agent or investor. As an agent you can do your own paperwork for making offers and sending in paperwork but you risk the real estate firms name being jeopardized from the types of deals you do depending on the image the broker firm holds. I hope this lengthy insight helps as this is what  I have learned thus far as a new investor and experienced agent.
