I'm thinking about getting my Real Estate License to help me find the good buys for investing. I also think It would give me more knowledge about the industry which would also help with my success. Do you think it would be a great benefit to have or not really? Looking for input from successful investors :) thanks!

Totally depends on your investment strategy. There are benefits and disadvantages to both. I had my license for years.. but for what I wanted to do, I found more benefit in letting it go. But one of my partner's has his. So, it just depends

Thanks for you input James. If I was rehabbing first I thought to be able to see listings and list them myself it would help. What are the advantages and disadvantages you see?

I too am interested in the possibility and usefulness of obtaining my real estate license. My question is in regards to having to be employed by a current brokerage. I would only be getting my license so I could pursue my own deals, and already work a full time job. Is there any way around this "apprenticeship" period?
