Real Estate License, is it a good starting strategy?

[Spencer Lindquester]

I am new to Real Estate and trying to find multiple way to not only fund my deals but increase the amount of time I can spend on my investments and not in my 9-5 job. I know for certain that Real Estate is where I want to be and I thought about getting my Agent's License as a way to make some money, learn more about the industry and get direct access to the MLS for finding deals. Is this a good strategy? I am currently house hacking to cover my living expenses and have minimized my general expenses. My hope would be to only need to work part time and do real estate as my primary income. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
