Worth getting brokers license as an acquisitions analyst? Exclusive buyside broker only?
I'm wondering if there's any additional upside to getting my broker's license and getting some of the commission paid out by the seller by representing the buyer aka the small family office I work for. Similar to how some agents use their buyer's agent commission on their own transactions to pay for some of their down payment. Currently working strictly multifamily buyside as an acquisitions analyst. I spend most of my days either in excel or calling brokers and owners for off market deals. 

I currently have my salesperson license in CA from doing resi sales since 2017. I'd have to get my broker's license, then get one in the states we're purchasing in. My ultimate goal is to run my own shop so I'm kind of already doing what I want. Just planning for doing this on my own in the future.
