Worth it to get agent license?

I realize that this question has been posted a number of times, which is how I found this site and this forum, but I'm curious what everyone's thoughts are in my particular circumstances. My husband and his cousin are starting a REI business (flipping and rentals). Said cousin has already been doing this in another geographic area successfully for years and years. I am an attorney who works an alright-paying, very easy job from home with entirely flexible hours. We've been tossing around the idea of me getting my agent license to assist in said business. It would be nice to have the knowledge and flexibility in the buying/selling process and avoid paying commissions. I'm no idiot but I'm also a newbie - so what am I missing? What are the downsides here? (aside from the initial time and money investment) Would appreciate more experienced professionals' insights - I've already learned a lot from you all today!
