.- From a street view, going up and down the blocks, I couldn't tell if this property is in a highly dense location, or just simply located in the projects. - 1 Bedroom / 1 Bathroom rent is 500.00Look forward to thoughts and opinions 

I believe the license is worth it's cost just for access to the MLS and the data on solds and comps.

A lot of you have emphasized how critical it is to have access to financing in order to reach your goals and it will only be possible by showing credibility to future investors. 

Licensed realtors have access to a database that provides more detailed info on condo buildings.

Some benefits of getting your license are that you can:1) Get access to the MLS and new properties hitting the market before investors without their license2) When you sell the property you save on the sales commission you would normally pay your listing agentYou don't need a license though.

But the broker can talk other brokers on the team into sharing private listings and split commissions.I have been successful getting access to some deals with this strategy but the deals were never good enough to close.

How would shared access work?

Grabbing a 12 unit steal in an up and coming neighborhood is the path to awesome profit, if you're right :)Print out the surrounding 6-8 blocks and see exactly what is going on in the area.  

The ones near the house are almost blocking part of the window.

For the students I think I will go to a bank deposit if they want but the bank is on the corner a block away and they have to pass it when they leave the house so that is the only reason I will do that.
