To be or not to be a Realtor. That is the question

To become a successful real estate investor do I need to also become a realtor? It depends. Having a real estate license can be good because it gives you access to the MLS, contracts for sale and allows you to present your offers to sellers with a sense of being a professional. Many times if you buy a property listed on the MLS you also can earn a commission which is nice. To be an investor you do not need to have a real estate license and you will need to find other ways to get seller property leads, contracts and learning how real estate works so you can seem competent when making offers. You don't need to be a licensed realtor to become an investor but it wont hurt if you go that route.
