Should I get my real estate license?

I currently have no properties, but plan on entering the world of real estate investing within 6 months. I recently become intrigued by the idea of getting a real estate license. For only around 80 hours and $650 to get licensed in Georgia it seems like a no-brainer, but I'd like to get some other opinions. The ability to wholesale, have access to the MLS, gain commissions on my own deals (or waive them to sweeten the deal), and many other benefits appear to make it a great idea. Just wondering if there are any major drawbacks I am overlooking.
