Question about getting licensed

[Debbie Ryken]

Should I get licensed as a real estate agent as an investor? Has anyone taken the classes on-line? Would you suggest classroom instruction versus on-line? Thank you!

There is literally nothing bad that will come from being a licensed REA and investor. It will likely make you a much more effective communicator when it comes to putting offers in, it will give you insight into how you should assess and look at deals, and where you should be looking for deals. 

While you will learn a lot through experience, you can also forgo several mistakes by front-loading your education and getting licensed.
