I got curious about Texas and it looks to be a very restrictive environment for finders fees, even moreso than here in Florida:https://www.texasrealestate.co...An unlicensed person referred business to me.

Most of the country I would imagine is the same in this type of environment. 

The military and contracting jobs associated with the bases provide more of a stable environment for rental property investors when things go sideways like the shutdowns last year.

The cost for signing up for classes is about $300.00, and I've heard from other sources that the exam itself costs around $125, with a few administrative fees once you pass. 

Also, a side note, the education their child has received has been sub-par due to at home and hybrid classes.

I am currently taking property management classes at the same time looking to get into a landlord training class either way i'm jumping into my first multifamily with in the next 25-30 (when my cash out refi closes) In the meantime I have been learning as much as i can in the landlord/property management areas while still searching and analyzing deals.I am investing in Massachusetts  and not apposed to investing out of state.

If their buyers agent has done only a few deals it's really no different than working with someone unrepresented anyway because at least in PA the licensing classes teach you nothing about actual real estate practice.  

Instead of asking if you should get it, you should research what being a real estate agent entails and if it will benefit you.if you have another job, you will likely be doing the real estate license part-time.There are two main reasons that people get the real estate license1) To make money via commissions2) to have access to the MLS and view properties(I don't think this is a good reason as you can view sites like zillow/trulia/redfin)Real Estate investing is hard in itself, no need to spend the many hours taking classes/exams to complicate the investing portion of real estate.

You need to really drill down to the market, neighborhood, property type, property class/condition, etc. 

The property is in a B-class neighborhood, built in 1920s. 2 of the 4 units are rented.
