New Investors: Should You Get Your Real Estate License? | Ep. 584

A lot of new investors come to us with this question... Should I get my brokerage license to help with real estate investing?
 
There's a lot of misinformation around this question. Some people are under the impression that you HAVE to have your brokerage license to practice real estate investing. This is simply not true. In fact... you probably shouldn't get it in the first place... 

There are a couple of reasons why... The first, golden handcuffs. A lot of people get their licenses, hoping to gain knowledge of the industry before they become investors. Makes sense, right? The problem is they get stuck, that capital they make often does not end up being invested, and they have to sell more to keep up with their new lifestyle, and the cycle continues. 

Another great reason to avoid your license when investing in real estate... legal hoops. If you thought that getting your brokerage license would lead you to some treasure trove of off-market deals... think again. There are A LOT more legal hoops you have to jump through when approaching a seller as a broker. 

Now, this isn't to say that having your real estate license is pointless, not at all. Only that you certainly don't need it to invest in real estate, and it might even hinder you in ways that you hadn't thought of. 

Want to know all of the reasons NOT to get your real estate license?
