Obtaining a R.E License to help kickstart our investment career!

[Abraham Bakre]

Hello BP,

My girlfriend and I are eager to receive some good vibes towards starting our real estate investment empire together! I used to work in the mortgage industry for a couple of years and now I own/run a store here in Waco, TX. She was in the Air Force for seven years and she has done some free lance work as a business consultant for my store as well as a multi-level marketing company. 

My question pertains mostly to her. She has been going to school to obtain her R.E. License for two months now and she will take her test in the summer. When she passes she will be a fully licensed R.E Agent!

I am curious as to how many benefits/things to watch for once she becomes a licensed agent. I understand she will have access to the MLS and we can save the seller on commission, but what else is there? Any R.E agents that are investors out there that can share their wisdom?

Thanks a bunch BP!
