Anyone thought about getting their real estate license so they can take advantage of the buyers fee when it comes time to buy a property for themselves?

Posted a few days ago this as well. I’m on course 3 of 6 for Texas. Hope to finish the courses by winter break completion.

Each state has unique requirements. In Texas it is 180 hours via 6 30 hour courses. Maybe not that much time each but it is a good chunk of that time plus a final certification exam. I’m around realtors and have done quite a few investment properties so I’m fairly familiar with most of the subject material.

I have my license and plan to purchase property for myself

For myself. Maybe in the future I would explore this as a career when I quit my current job.

I do this in NY, because if you’re already admitted to the NY bar, a bit of paperwork and a small fee gets you licensed as a broker in the state too. Other states are likely different though.

You can buy a property without a realtor without needing to get your license... Just negotiate the fee with the seller in your offer

One item borrowers shopping for mortgages get too caught up in is rate. Most borrowers don’t know how to read a loan estimate and get taken advantage all the time. Just because a lender/bank offers you a low rate doesn’t mean it’s best deal. Most cases, especially now since rates have gone up, you are being charged points for some of these lower rates in the 4s. If you don’t know or understand discount points feel free to shoot me a message and I can help you review estimate and see if can beat

Curious about thoughts on on discount points (I think I’ve already read every article on Google). I am refinancing my personal residence (future rental) as well as a rental property. The mortgage brokers discourage me from spending a ton on points (rolled in, not up front). In some cases, it’s a 16 year break even. I get that’s a very long time to break even, but I have no intention of getting rid of the properties and doubt rates will drop much below current. Max breakeven point for you?
