Why This Successful Investor Went and Got His Real Estate License w/Nick Cooley

In this industry, most agents take on investing after years of working in sales. It’s not as common to hear of a successful investor getting their license years into their investing career - but it proves that the two sides of real estate are a high-value combo that can skyrocket our income and opportunities.    For my guest, Nick Cooley, this was the path he took for specific and intentional reasons. What doors does a license open when combined with an ability to speak the language of investors? How can we get our very first investing deals when we don’t have a ton of capital?    In this episode, I’m joined by investor, broker, mentor, consultant and the President of Team Cooley Properties, Nick Cooley.
