I live in Michigan and I was wondering if there is any benefit in getting a real estate license as an investor? Also, do I have to work full time at an agency to get and maintain a license?

Wow. So, I don't even know how I found this site because as of 4 days ago REI wasn't a consideration for me - probably due to too good to be true infomercials.I was briefly a real estate agent about 20 years ago. Asi...
