Licensing for Wholesale/ Flipping

[Nate Leaders]

I'm very much a greenhorn here, and I'm broke. I like the ideas I've read in Brandon Turners book and think wholesaling/ flipping would be a good way to start. I'm thinking of getting my real estate license to expand my knowledge base and add credibility to myself. What would the pros and cons be to getting my real estate license starting in this manner? Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
