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.
