Question:
I am an investor, and I an considering doing short-sales and foreclosures.. do Ii need a RE license? at what point do I need one?
Answer:
No. Anyone can do it, but it helps to have the knowledge on how the whole process works.
You would need a real estate license if you wanted to earn commissions from the sale or residential or commercial real estate sales. As a whole the license does not help you if you are an investor and many would argue that it is better you don't have one if you simply wan to invest in real estate. Some people though use the commissions to purchase more property.
Only at the point that you will be representing the property of others as their agent.
