Hindsight is always 20/20. It sounds like the first buyer would have strung you out and looking for a way out of the contract. There's an old saying in Real Estate that all the Kings men and all the Kings horses can't make someone buy or sell a house.

I've been investing in real estate for about 15 years and I'm an active Realtor. Having a real estate license has helped me find and sell investment properties. I've both and sold both SFRs and multi family. It comes down to an individual choice of whether I want to be a Realtor or partner with a Realtor. Good luck in your decision, I've never regretted having my license.

There's an old saying in real estate that goes like this. All the Kings horses and all the Kings men can make a seller sell that doesn't want to or a buyer buy that doesn't want to. You might win in court, but will the time, money and your mental well being be worth it in the long run.

I'm a real estate agent as well as an investor. Many advantages to having a license and opens up more doors. My advice is to get the license.
