online realtor license?

Question

I am a complete newbie and have yet to do my first real deal other than my own home. I have been listening to past episodes of the podcast, reading the posts, and starting do my homework and learning to evaluate deals. One question, in j. Scott's early podcast (episode 8?) and he recommended fully getting your license. Is there any online programs?

@Daniel Rick Unfortunately in our state we can't do the licensing online. It has to be 40 hours in class time.

@Daniel Rick, if it makes you feel any better, I feel like in class would be the better option anyways. Well... I guess it depends on the person really. I'm doing mine online and it has it's moments where I'd rather have someone in person explaining it. Also, I know I would have finished sooner doing an actual class than online. My aunt is an agent and recommended the class in person, so did a few other agents I know. I just didn't get the memo until I started online. It's not horrible or anything, I just feel like in person would be a plus. @Lisa Kohl is saying it's only 40 hours for your state. In class time, that would fly by. I have to do 75 online. Not a bad situation for you! Way to stay positive. Knock it out and maybe get some connections along the way. Good luck!

40 hours of class time would be great! We have to put so many hours in out here in CO!

thanks, I appreciate the replies!

guess I could grumble about having to sit in some class, or I could look forward to learning and making a few contacts.

It's state dependent. In Colorado, I can do all of my classes and such online to accrue the 168 hours needed, but I then have to go to Denver and take the state and federal tests. Just depends on what your state requires. Everything I have seen, I recommend getting one to save in the long run as far as realtor fees ect. Plus I believe knowing the ins and outs of the entire process will make it easier to evaluate deals on the both the front and back end.
