So, I'm still having a difficult time deciding whether or not it would be worth it to get my RE license and/or brokers license...

If I were to go ahead and do it, what would be the verdict on the online "schools" through which I would be able to buy materials? I would study the materials they provide, etc, pass their exams, thereby qualifying me to sit for the actual RE licensee exam? Is this SOP?

Thanks again in advance for any and all input.

I am definitely pursuing the law degree. I don't know at this point exactly what area of law I'll choose to practice as I haven't even started school yet.

My interest in the RE license was based more on the fact that I thought it would be an advantage when it comes time for me to invest. I do understand that the training for the license doesn't focus on investing, however I thought what I would gain from the training would be applicable down the road.

Mr_Investor - I haven't started law school yet. I'm planning on starting this fall.

Thanks again for the info.

Thanks again everyone.

Let me start out with a very general question. As I said, I don't really have any interest in working as an agent, or even as a broker. My thinking was that getting my RE license would provide me with the underlying knowledge necessary to understand the ins- and outs of RE investments. How sound is this logic?

I am also very interested in various franchise opportunities, though clearly I wouldn't be in a position to get the ball rolling in that area before starting school this fall. A RE license, on the other hand, would be relatively easily attainable in a short period of time.

Thoughts? Apologize in advance if I've been to vague here.

Thanks very much to both of you! I appreciate the offers and will absolutely take you up on them. A minute of someone's time can be as valuable as an hour - so much of it depends on the mindset and focus of the student! What I lack at the moment in depth of understanding I *hope* to make up for with ambition. (Then again, isn't that everyone's story? As is said, talk is cheap!)

Hey everyone -

22 year old guy here from SoCal. Currently living in Redondo Beach. Looking forward to law school this fall and strongly considering getting my real estate license in the meantime. Very interested but have a lot of learning to do. Eventually would like to invest in multiple properties, etc. Who knows what the future holds? Too bad I don't have the capital in this market! :wink:

Looking forward to speaking with you all and learning as much as possible! Thanks in advance for your insight and perspective.
