Excellent Article J Scott! I am getting my license for all those reasons you listed above. In fact I just finished the classes last week and I am taking the final licensing test tomorrow. I’ve got a few options for a brokerage to hang my license with, so that’ll be my next step.

Good luck, Scott! Let me know how the test goes!

Great points. I’ve been an investor for 4 years and I too have my real estate license. It was one of the best decisions that I made upfront in my real estate investing career!

J. Scott,

Very insightful article.

I plan to segue over to the commercial side of things once I leave the residential arena. Interestingly, every single commercial broker I have spoken with has suggested that I get a license, if for no other reason than being able to broker potential deals I happen to stumble upon. After reading your post, getting that license will probably be my next course of action.

PS — How is the latest addition to the Scott household?;-)

Thanks for the heads up. I thought I was losing my mind. I went over to the renew forum and had very little luck finding it. I will look again today.
