Here are my reasons:http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2010/02/24/should-you-get-your-real-estate-license-investors/Btw, while it wasn't my primary motivation to begin with, the best reason I now see for having your license is the ability to control your deals, especially if you'll be selling your properties (in other words, less important for those who are buying and holding).But, access to the MLS and extra profits are two other important reasons...

The work includes a lot of planning (put that chair there, use these types of window coverings here) at no extra charge.As you mentioned, the better this person can work in concert with the listing agent, the better your chances of optimizing your resale in terms of both minimal time and maximum price.

Maybe a bit of extra costs and more hassle, but minimal.

Is it worth the extra money to get set up this way?

For example, more square feet or an extra bedroom?

I live in one of the rooms and I am renting the rest out for $2500 a month so making about $1000 extra.

And charge them extra per month to have the animal.I don't know why you rented to them in the first place, unless you inherited them...

I am also with Jon when it comes to mentors, if you are earning so much money wholesaling when will you have time to teach thousands of students.

If I convert the funds into equity it would basically be earning 5% which is the current interest rate I'm paying on the commercial loan.

I have a 2 and 9 yr old - great toddler programs (extra $5/month), tons on NetFlicks (extra $8/month) and lots of Podcasts (video and audio).
