Get a RE license? To do or not to do. That is the question.

Hey BP crew,

I am new to REI and I have 9 months before I move from Europe back to the U.S. In that time I believe I can earn a RE license. It may seems like an easy question to answer for you, but is it helpful/necessary to get a license?

Any advice helps.  Thanks. 

Stay frosty

After you get a license, your plans will probably change to the buy and hold side. Wholesaling, is just being an agent, legally, you'll make more in the long run charging a commission. 

If you can get free ed classes or discounts through the Green Machine, do it!

If you end up not wanting to be a Realtor, fine, the education alone is worth it! Good luck and thanks for your service! :)
