Real Estate License and investing
Hi All!!
I'm a newbie to BP and real estate investing. I am interested in finally getting into investing or at least purchase my first home (eventually). I am eligible to sit for the California Real Estate Salesperson exam. I was thinking the real estate salesperson license would assist me my goals (saving some costs on buying/selling, access to MLS, etc).
Are there any recommendations on where I can hang (is that a term?) my license? I would imagine that the traditional brokerage expects licensees to be a real estate agent or bring in a certain amount, no? So, I was looking online brokerage companies. Am I going down the correct rabbit hole?
Ultimately, being able to sit and obtain a broker's license would be ideal as well. Here in CA there is a 2 year requirement. Would "hanging" my license for two qualify?
Thanks all for any help and looking forward to making BP my new daily site!! :)
