So, although it is likely a good thing to know/keep in mind, I wouldn't put too much weight on it when making your decision.Again, don't hesitate to reach out!

Once you have multiple options that can meet your needs, then you get to weigh these options in what you want... whatever option has the highest weight should determine the best possible choice for you... at that point, it's worth doing the risk analysis to help compare this risks associated with each option and take that into consideration before making a final decision.That said don't rule out the parts of these decisions that are more right brained, intuitive, creative, and sometimes seemingly crazy to everyone else.

I'm from the UK (London)My question is just how does one get the license, how long will it take if you work on it like a full time job, do you need RE specific college degrees, do you need to work for a brokerage for a set amount of time etc..I want the license because I would like to get into RE investing full time, not so much on the sales or mediating side of it, but I want to be able to think like an agent and learn all the "tricks of the trade", and allow me access to the most up to date and accurate market data available.I'm sure there are many more benefits to getting a license, learning how to efficiently use the MLS, cutting on closing costs, local/industry knowledge, meeting contacts,wholesalers and so on.If getting a license is something I can achieve then great, if I need specific college degrees which will take me 4+ years then another 2+ years interning then maybe not, just trying to get as much info on this as possible to weight things up.

Being out of state, I am mainly focusing on “lighter” reposition deals.

A good agent is worth thier weight in gold just like an attorney. you just have to ask yourself how much of an agent do you want to be.
