Whats the best method or oline course to get this done?

Not looking at this as a profession already have a full time job. Just looking to actually get the license to come in handy if i ever need it, want to find land to purchase and overall become more knowledgeable about contracts and real estate in general.

I do real estate part time and did the classes at Champions back in 2016/2017. You can do it online as i've had friends do it that way, but i'm an in class learner so I opted to do it at the Champions location.

I send all my employees to Champions online and tell them to do a few hundred practice problems before the test. I have never had anyone fail the test.

The Colorado test is pretty dang hard but the Texas test is easy. Just do your work and you will be fine.

I went to Champions in Houston. I did real estate for five years, full time, and I'm going be very frank with you, for what you want to do, it's not worth it. If you are going to do it for real or use it as a supporting education then that would be different.

I maintain my license because my business includes working with a ton of Realtors and property managers for commercial and residential real estate. So, it's valuable to them that I know their world and know their contracts and what's what.

In my opinion, much of the value you seek isn't going to be found by taking a class and getting a license. It's not hard and the class really opens your eyes as to why so many Realtors are considered idiots and why an experienced legit Realtor is worth their weight in gold. As with any venture, Much of what you seek comes from experience and dealing with transactions frequently. Just my opinion.

You will need a broker to hold your license-just keep that in mind

I'll echo what most have already said…

I am a commercial real estate broker, and for what you are looking for, I don't think a license or taking real estate licenses courses will really scratch your itch. The real estate license courses are completely useless for what I do, and in my experience, they teach you mostly about how to fill out the promulgated forms, Fair Housing Act and other rules for license holders. There are some other courses on more specific disciplines, but they tend to be more surface level courses.

If you want to get your license to say you did and maybe make some extra money on the side, go for it!

If you want to learn anything valuable about real estate, you will probably be disappointed by taking real estate license classes.

Feel free to PM me if you want jump on a quick call to pick someone's brain. Happy to see if I can help you figure out the best way to learn what you are looking to better understand.

Agree with CD12 on getting your license as quick and cheapest way possible. Championship is volume training program. They like the volume. Then what?

You paid something, And you need to learn the real industry. I'm guessing 1000 or more. Now you need closings. How?

You have 2 choices. Go full time at a 'shop' or just do occasional "friends and family" deals. Good luck!

PS….going full time it takes at least 6 months to get paid. Probably longer.
