questioning getting license, 20 year old real estate investor

Cody Cavenaugh
Posted

Hi, I'm a 20 year old real estate investor. I have purchased my first property last year and plan on purchasing my second later this year. I'm considering getting my real estate license in order to get 3% off purchase price of properties, and tax advantages. I don't plan on selling homes as a realtor, but am considering getting it for tax breaks and 3% purchase price of properties. What would y'all recommend? I plan on becoming a big time investor but being a realtor and selling homes that way doesn't interest me.

Quote from @Bruce Woodruff:

This was already asked today. It gets asked twice a week. There is a search feature...


 If everyone searched then the amount of daily post would dwindle to next to nothing since most all the subject matter has been covered many times over. 

Also I dont know about you but I have never been able to find anything with the search function on this site.. to me its INOP and should be placarded that way.
