I am also recently applied for my RE agent licence to essentially practice buy/sell/rental for not only myself, but other investors with the same passion. 

Multi family is good so are MHP  4. hook up with an Excellent HML who places funds for individuals you can make 9 to 12% pretty easy with no tenant issues.get some education either free on line or pay for it but get quality education so you understand the in's and outs... most of the on line stuff and pod casts are just glossing over concepts many of which may or may not work in your market.also get a RE licence this will give you basics and expose you to those in the industry.. especially the commercial space

The real estate licence can be revoked if they break the law and/or violate the code of ethics. 

No investing background but going to get my real estate licence and brokers !!

Hey guys I'm Dre Alston,16 and from Nc I have been looking into Real estate investing and wanting to pursue a career in that field when i get legal age (18) but me being so eager i was looking for ways to get into it early and i was looking at wholesaling house's i know that you don't need a real estate licence to do this but considering my age is it possible for me to do right now?

Or, more bluntly, do you want your tenant earning twice as much per month from your property as you, while you shoulder the risk and liability of operating without the necessary licences or insurance and in possible violation of legislation or regulation?

I am thinking about getting my real-estate licence to help me with my investing.

And I have to agree with the group if your not licenced or properly trained you can get someone killed also although you technically can do your own e.l. work in mass it's a prosses and an inspector is especially hard on homeowners.

Be careful of "contractors" who don't have a licence - they may seem cheap up front but can cost you thousands of dollars if things go upside down - also - you can only recover up to $500 from a handyman who is not a licensed contractor  ( at least here in California) - so if they muck something up - your not going to have an easy time recovering your money.  

However, I need to relearn a lot about the market and update my licence.
