Do I really need my real estate license?

Hello :) I am an entrepreneur in the Raleigh area and I am new to the REI world. I am learning a lot and I love it. I feel like I should get my RE license just to know that side of the business but I have no desire to sell homes, it would just be to learn the laws and have access to the MLS listings. I know I don't need it to be an investor but do you think it really helps to have it? My main business takes up most of my time so I don't want to take on this new license unless it's really necessary and worth my time. What do you think?

No. Not worth it, not necessary .  Find an established ,  reputable agent who understands the business that you want to pursue  and make them a part of your team just the same as an accountant  or attorney .  You should  be focused on analyzing and funding  deals, not worrying about contracting  and scheduling.  Best,
Brian
