Cape Girardeau MO LLC business licence

[Quentin Noah]

I'm in the process of wanting to start an llc for rental properties, holdings and purchases. I live in the cape girardeau MO. Area and I'm not entirely sure if I need a business license or not to do things like wholesale, rehab, and buy and lease out rental properties. I feel as though I migh need one but nowhere that I've read, does it definitively say whether or not one for real estate purposes is required. Any help on this subject matter is greatly appriciated.
