Should I get my real estate license?
Is there any reason not to? I drive a lot for work and figure just to be able to get into key lock boxes (after checking with listing agent of course) it would be nice along with the access to mls.

Hey Ty- I've been investing for 15 years and just finished the licensing class. I learned a ton- lots of legal stuff and details regarding the broker's responsibilities, an agent's responsibilities both to the client and the broker, it was really interesting. If you are going to invest, you'll get back more than your financial investment on your first transaction and you'll learn a great deal. Plus access to MLS, walk through properties any time you want, networking with other agents and people working in other aspects of the industry will be much simpler. I can't think of a reason not to- wish I would have done it sooner.
