Real Estate License for Investing

[Ashley Capello]

Hello,
I have looked through old posts but haven't come across anything more recent than 2018 and I feel 2020 kind of changed the game for everyone. I have been working on getting into real estate investing by starting with wholesaling to gain capital to move to rehabs and quick flips. I have been wondering, especially with new legislation in the works, should I just go ahead and get my realtor's license? I have no intention of selling homes as a traditional realtor and just want to invest. With the way things are moving, I'm thinking it may be worth it to get a license. I love learning and am willing to put the work in, I just wanted to know if you all thought it would be a waste of time/money since I don't want to use it in a traditional sense. I appreciate any advice given. I am very new to real estate and want to put the work in to make sure everything I do is ethical, legal, and successful.
