I’m a novice real estate investor and very excited about getting started. I was wondering if you all could answer a question for me.
I realize that it’s not necessary to have a real estate license and that it is probably best to use the services of a real estate agent. Do you all recommend getting a real estate license? Does it help?
Sorry if this was offensive to you but I try to be a man of my word…I said I was going to scream if this question was asked again and I did – and I feel better!
You can go to the search function and type in “license” and it will bring up all of the hudreds of times this has been asked:
No problem, I understand how that could be frustrating. I just saw the “Beginners” title for the Forum and I assumed it would be ok. Most of all, I was just looking to find out different opinions on what had worked/not worked for most people.
It is Ok…always ask questions here when you need to! But, I had to do what I had to do! LOL!
Most folks agree that it is not necessary for investing but those that have them feel it is a bonus and it can help with access (to the MLS) and they save a few bucks when they buy a listed property.
Disclosure is the only really big issue. It is also one more “learning event” in a lifetime of learning events. Do NOT use it as a stall tactic to not get going until you have your license!
