Is Real Estate Licensing Beneficial To An Investor?
Hi All,
I have a 2 part question: I want to get into real estate investing, specifically buy-and-hold rental properties and I'm considering taking real estate license classes to do so. I was originally going to just get myself an agent but now I'm wondering if it would be beneficial for me to learn how to be an agent and get licensed? So, my biggest question is would this be worth doing as an investor?
The second part is that I've been looking into this a bit and have found online classes I can take that are based in Massachusetts. Does anyone know if I can take these courses and get licensed in Massachusetts even though I am a Connecticut resident? (CT doesn't offer online licensing classes and the MA course requires 20 less hours) I believe CT offers license reciprocity so I think as long as I pass the MA exam and get licensed I can apply for the license in CT without having to take more classes as well as the CT exam. I'm just not sure if I can take the MA classes to begin with.
Thank you,
Justin
