Should I obtain my real estate license in New York or New Jersey?

I haven't conducted my first deal yet but, I am looking for ways to increase my monthly income. I have the idea of obtaining my real estate license in New York or New Jersey to work part-time as a real estate agent. Since I am a newbie investor, I wanted to get your thoughts on the questions below:

  • 1 - Should I obtain my real estate license in New York or New Jersey?
  • 2- Is it worth it to obtain my real estate license since I'll be working part-time only?
  • 3 - Is there any common side jobs you see among other investors?

Thank you in advance BP Nation,

- Michael

One thing to consider is which state has easier waive-in rules, and get your license in the state where it is harder to waive in. That way, if you eventually want to be licensed in both states, you can waive into the second state.
