Pat Porter, with RecLand Realty, encounters a lot of seasoned investors in his line of work and people that want to get into land investing. Among the many questions that frequently surfaces: Should a real estate land investor go through the process of obtaining a real estate license?
Pat’s direct answer is no – you do not need a real estate license to become a successful real estate investor. Investors falsely think a real estate license will save them big money on commissions. The truth is, you don’t want to waste your time, energy, and more importantly, your money chasing a real estate license instead of chasing a good land deal.
In deciding whether or not getting licensed is worth the time and effort it will require, investors must first determine what they want to accomplish.
