For starters, spell license correctly

Lisense

What’s your ultimate goal with it and what state are you in? Different states have different processes. Where I live, it was a 90 hour pre licensing course that could only be taught live (either in person or virtual) followed by 3 30-hour post licensing courses that had to be taken in the first 18 months. Exam is challenging so you’ll need to read/study the material (not everyone passes the first time). You’ll likely need to associate with a brokerage so be thinking what that looks like for you (ie a firm vs a single-person business that you can link up with). Most firms other than eXp aren’t going to bring someone on that’s doing it part time as it’s not worth the risk/time to train

Next step is to join a brokerage. What’s your objective of getting a license? Are you planning to work as agent full time or did you get it to buy your own investments? You can ping me, I am a licensed realtor.

I may or may not try to lock in a good rate early, but I'm planning on renting it out and this throws a bit if a wrench in my margins. I can take it financially, but wondering, If I absolutely needed to get out of buying it, what recourse do I have? Or could I go ahead, and refinance later (who knows rates at that time...)?

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.
