Real Estate License

I'm starting out in my RE journey and I wanted to add value to what I can offer. I was thinking about getting an RE license to help me grow in this business and get confidence & knowledge but I'm not sure if it would be worth it. Any suggestions or past experiences related to this topic?

Thanks

@Yonatan Cintron - Hey Yonatan -

A real estate license can be worth it if you do at least one in-state deal a year. You'll be able to earn back your real estate agent fees with the commission you earn from one deal. It may also be worth it if you get your license and you refer other clients/investors to another agent; doing this will allow you to earn referral fees.

Getting a license is NOT necessary to build confidence and knowledge. Confidence and knowledge is built through consistent education, hands-one experience, and constant networking. 

Hope that helps
