You can get your own license for less than $3,000 and get your own MLS access and submit your own offers.

I got my real estate license and I'm loving it so far. It's taken some time and money, but it will more than pay for itself when I buy my next house. Having access to the MLS is so convenient because hardly a day goes by that I don't want comps for a property. I also found an awesome broker that is all for people using their license however they see fit.

Good things are coming...

Hey Courtland.  I live in Denham and work near Gonzales.  Welcome to the forums.  I got my RE license recently to help with my investing.  Message me if you have any questions or just want to talk real estate.  Good luck.

For months now I've been listening to nothing but real estate or business podcasts and audiobooks. I traded my Spotify pay account for an Audible one. As I'm sitting here drinking coffee and listening to some good music I realize that I really miss it. Im going to have to start working some music back into my rotation.

That's the answer I was expecting to hear. Just wanted to verify.

If I end up renting my primary residence, what should I do with the above ground pool? What kind of liability will I have? Will some type of waiver signed with the lease cover me? Do I need to check with the insurance company?

I think the right time to get in is as soon as you are able. Elevated market or not, I'd bet there are deals out there to be had.

I'm dealing with Chris Lee at the Baton Rouge branch of Resource Bank.

I'm looking for my first flip and as I was looking through a property yesterday I realized that I need a good form to fill out while I'm doing these walk-throughs.  Does anyone have something that you use when you're walking a property for the first time you'd be willing to share?

Monica Davies I am in a similar situation. I am new, with only one rental, and I'm looking for my next one. I look at lots of houses online at all of the real estate sites. I decided that I was going to get my license due to the fact that I want access to the MLS because not a day goes by that I don't want to see some comps. I was bugging the crap out of the agent I bought my rental with. For her to give me the attention and information I'm looking for I would almost have to be her only client. So now I am just about set. I took the online course in about a week and took my tests. Once I passed those I found a really good, investor friendly broker. I'm dropping my final forms off tomorrow at the real estate commission and then I'm ready to get going. I'm excited about having my own access to the MLS and being able to go view properties without having to schedule it with my agent, but I'm most excited about the small company I'm going to work with. The broker has lots of knowledge and encourages people to use their license any way that they choose. There are two other agents that flip houses and one is even a licensed contractor. I'm going to be all on for at least $1,600 once it's all said and done. I think that's a small price to pay for what I'm getting. Buy or sell one house and you're more than repaid what it took to get in. And the first thing I'm going to do is list my primary residence, which will be a nearly $10,000 commission in total. I'll get 80% of half of the total. All that to say... I think it's worth it to get your license.
