Obtaining my real estate license in Virginia…

[Michael Nijhawan]

Hello bigger pockets community! I am a new investor in Virginia; more specifically in Northern Virginia, and I wanted to know if there is a benefit of getting my real estate license to educate myself and also use the real estate license for my investing career/opportunities. Are there any real estate agents in Northern Virginia that can recommend classroom style approved real estate license courses, or would you recommend to do it online? Any advice, guidance, mentoring and information would be most appreciated. I am a cyber security professional by trade and I have a full time cyber architect job and I've got two kids and a wife and lots of family around, so I need to make sure that investing the time and money in getting the Virginia real estate license is worth it. Thanks!
