Is my licence needed!?! All opinions welcome!!!

Hi all! 

Hope you're all having a brilliant holiday season with your friends and family! 

Quick question for you all, as discussed in a previous post, I'm looking at wholesaling as a potential strategy for acquiring property that fit my criteria while wholesaling the rest. 

My question is, shall I also pursue my real estate licence? My background is sales/sales ops. I'm certainly no expert in RE, will having my licence give me an advantage from a legal perspective (I understand there are some grey areas in wholesaling) and will it give a competitive advantage when talking with motivated sellers? 

All opinions welcome!!

Get licensed, there is no downside. Unless your business practices will be so sketchy you don’t want to possibly answer to a governing body.
