The Challenges of Getting a Real Estate License
Investors often waste time and resources obtaining a real estate license before engaging in any property deals, which can hinder their growth. Many view this as a stall tactic that delays their entry into investing and stems from a conventional mindset of needing formal training before taking any action. However, having a license, while potentially useful later, is unnecessary for those who haven't yet refined their investment strategies or identified the right market for their goals. Ultimately, the focus should be on gaining practical experience through deals rather than getting bogged down in education before taking action.
