Real estate license before wholesaling?

I'm a newbie. I will be purchasing my first rental property soon but was planning on wholesaling to generate $$$ for my 2nd property and so forth and so on. My question is related to getting a real estate license. Should i get my license? I was thinking it would be valuable some day if not now, i might want to get into real estate and give up my day job someday. More then that im guessing there might be valuable things to learn i can get under my belt while waiting for cash flow to pile up. I read its not good to get your license sometimes its not good for both purchasing rentals or wholesaling. Should i take the real estate classes but just not take the test for now? I'm anxious to do something! Thanks in advance!
