Hey everyone!
Im getting into real estate now in southwestern PA. I am partnering with my brother and we have two investors ready to give cash for the right deal.
Right now I'm simply checking MLS each day.
Would you recommend I get my real estate license?
I plan to flip for income and invest in rentals

It's not necessarily needed to get there, but it's something to consider when thinking about commission. Are you only looking to invest in PA?

Hi, Kevin!
Congrats on your first income property!
Just want to add that there are two levels of "private lending".
The first level is people who are in the business of lending out their own money. They're really just another type of hard-money lender.
The second level is people you know who have money in retirement accounts and they're looking for better returns with less risk and less volatility. Once you've learned about self-directed retirement accounts you can teach them how investing in your deals will provide them with better returns and - and this is the big one - less risk because their money is secured by real property, unlike the stock market where money simply evaporates due to situations beyond the stock holders' control.
Again welcome to BP and to REI!
I can also help you find some REI education to help prevent you from losing a boatload of money through your own mistakes. Most "School of Hard Knocks" people who lose money on their early deals lose enough to pay for their education between five and seven times.

Welcome, Kevin. You are already a step ahead of many with already owning a rental property! I've not been a member here long, but find myself constantly learning and networking. I'm only scratching the surface with all of the forums and educational material here. If you are willing to dig a bit, one can save a lot of $ as opposed to buying RE programs and enrolling in classes. Good luck!
