Real estate license

[Billy Mehlinger]

Hey Biggerpockets community! I have a question about getting my real estate license. I have been hearing conflicting opinions about getting your license when looking to invest in real estate. I am a part time investor just getting started and in no way do i plan on being a real estate agent. My plan is to invest mostly in buy and holds and possibly do some flips. My question is whether it is worth getting my real estate license. I have heard from some people that it is an invaluable tool and from others that it is a waste of time/money if you are not going to be an agent. What do you think?
