MLO license vs Real Estate License

Michael M.

Posted

An Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO) license in CA will set me back just under $1,000.

A Real Estate sales person License will set me back about $1,000 also.

Just starting here and I need income fast. Math is NOT my strong suit. I can add/subtract/multiply/divide. Public speaking or communication is more my strong suit.

With Rocket Mortgage catering to millennials I'm concerned getting and keeping a MLO license may cost more and yield less.

I have a school lined up for either career path. I may end up getting both licenses someday. I just need to get traction asap. Get my own place have a steady income etc...

Can anyone with experience in either field share comments?
