Real Estate License

Would taking Real Estate classes or even acquiring a license be beneficial for an aspiring real estate investor? If not, where should I start? Trying to learn the business...

I would suggest starting out by listening to every episode of the Real Estate Rookie Podcast and reading all the books they mention in the podcast, especially Rich Dad Poor Dad.  As far as taking classes, it definitely wouldn't hurt at all, however, the information you'd learn in the classes is more than likely already in the BP forums and podcasts all for free.  

In regards to getting your license, that's one of the heavily debated subjects from everyone on here, some think it's a great idea and others say there's absolutely no need at all.  I'd suggest reading up on the forums about it and make the decision that is best for you once you've got all the information you need!
