The real agents/brokers have a license and would not jeopardize their license to make a quick buck like some of the people shooting you quick offers.  

Is it practical / worthwhile to get your agent license purely to avoid paying listing-agent fees on house flips?

I am really considering going back to get my license and use my network to primarily work with investors.

Hey @Melvy ConcepcionI'm not sure getting licensed should be at the forfront of your immediate goals.

Not a solution, but going forward...Have all adult tenant prospects fill out applications which require their social security number, driver's license number, their birth date, their current address and their prior address.

Quote from @Omar Mares: Wholesaling doesn't require a license because one doesn't exist.

Not local but they are licensed in MS.

I recommend asking an licensed inspector to do this for you.

Spent a few weeks getting settled in to the neighborhood you are living in, (Getting your driver's license and car registered with the DMV) knowing where the grocery store is, et cetera. 

@Nilusha Jayasinghe I always collect a potential residents social security number, DOB and license.
