Having a real estate license is NOT required to be a successful house flipper, but it helps a lot! 

The biggest ways IMO are MLS data, multiple solutions for sellers (off market cash deal or listing), ability to rep. yourself on your own deals (saving on commission).

Commission savings adds up fast when you're doing multiple deals a year.

That being said, there is cost to having a license so if you're only doing a couple deals a year then it might not make as much sense.

IMO, it can help though!

Direct access to MLS data, multiple solutions for sellers (off market cash deal or listing), ability to rep. yourself on your own deals (saving on commission), and of course, education & networking.

Having a license costs $$$ though. If real estate is a long-term journey for you, go for it. If it's a part-time investment hobby, then it might not make as much sense, financially at least.

Nearly all of my single-family deals were zero down deals because I got them off-market, direct to owner. 

Otherwise, HELOC is a great resource.
