What are benefits and stuff I can do with a real estate license?

[Daniel Muscarella]

Hi all,

I'm currently 19 years old and have been interested in Real estate since I was 16. I recently talked to someone about it and they recommended get my real estate license. However, I feel like getting your license is only for people that want to be a realtor and sell houses. But that's not what I want to do, I'm interested in house hacking/STR/Wholesaling. I do move to North Carolina in August and wanted to see what I could do with my license such as things like weekend opportunities and extra money to get even more knowledge of this industry. Do any of you guys have any ideas of what I could do with my license if I were to get it?
