Real estate license

[Mailyn Lee]

Is it worth it? Especially since I have had to move around so many times because my dads in the military it's hard to gain those life long contacts and connections. Is it worth it? Starting from scratch and having to find a mentor as well?

@Mailyn Lee it depends on your goals. 

Do you want the ability to sell and/or manage property in one specific state? If yes, then get it. If no, then don't.

Do you need a license for what you're doing? If you're focused on investing only, a license is not necessary at all.

Are you willing to commit to renewing your license, paying the fees, and taking continuing education courses every 1-4yrs ?

For most investors a license doesn't matter much. But for someone like me, who holds licenses and does business in multiple states, it's essential.
