Do you need your real estate agent license in order to invest?
I'm starting to take courses for the real estate license examination, for knowledge, but I am not entirely interested in exactly being an agent. Do you think I need to take the exam/obtain the credential to start investing?

@Jen Nguyen You don't need a RE license to be an investor. Or in other words, 99% of the RE investors are not RE agents :)
You don't need the exam to develop credibility. The exam is a license that allows you to operate in a certain market similar to licenses by securities brokers, attorneys, physicians, plumbers, barbers and the like. A practitioner's level of competence is not always linked to their qualifications.
