Wanting to get my Real Estate license

[Tim Milosich]

I want it not necessarily to become a realtor, but more so to provide a slight advantage to myself financially to both the purchasing and selling of real estate but also to gain access to MLS listing.

First, I'd like to ask if this is even adventitious as a real estate investor or if I'd be merely wasting time and money?  

Second, If anyone could refer to a good school that is affordable and actually helps you pass the test?  I just want to make sure I use an accredited school.

Thanks in advance!
