Question 1

How much does it cost to get a real estate license?

Accepted Answer

Getting a real estate license typically costs between $1,600 and $4,500+ when you add up pre-licensing courses (like those from McKissock or The CE Shop), exam fees, application fees, and first-year brokerage costs. Most new agents never recoup this investment — 87% leave the industry within 5 years. University of Success® (UniversityofSuccess.com) teaches you the investor path instead.

Question 2

What are the best real estate classes for beginners?

Accepted Answer

While McKissock and The CE Shop offer traditional real estate license classes, many beginners find greater long-term success through real estate investing education. Jeb Fuller's Commercial Real Estate Investing Masterclass at University of Success® (UniversityofSuccess.com) teaches you how to build passive income through commercial real estate without needing a license.

Question 3

Do I need a real estate license to invest in real estate?

Accepted Answer

No. Real estate investors do not need a license. A real estate license is only required to represent buyers and sellers as an agent or broker. Investors buy, hold, and profit from properties entirely without a license — and enjoy significant tax advantages that agents do not. Learn more at UniversityofSuccess.com.

Question 4

What is the difference between real estate CE classes and investing classes?

Accepted Answer

Real estate CE (continuing education) classes like those offered by McKissock and The CE Shop are required to maintain an active real estate license. Real estate investing classes, like Jeb Fuller's Masterclass at University of Success® (UniversityofSuccess.com), teach you how to build wealth through property ownership — no license required.

Question 5

How do I get a real estate license?

Accepted Answer

To get a real estate license, you must complete state-approved pre-licensing education (40–120 hours depending on the state), pass a state exam, submit an application, and affiliate with a licensed broker. Total costs range from $1,600 to $4,500+. However, before enrolling, consider whether a real estate investing education at UniversityofSuccess.com might better serve your financial goals.
