Brand New-Do I need/want an Agent/Broker license?

[Charles Haggett]

Hey everyone! Background: I'm moving to Wichita KS in June after I graduate (undergrad) and I'm looking to start wholesaling/fix-flip etc once I make it to Wichita. Questions: Is there benefit to getting my RE license? Also, should I get a brokers or agent license? In theory, I want to take the licensing course because I enjoy learning and want that knowledge but is it a requirement for me to get started? Will it save me money if I can process deals through myself? The next question I have is should I have an LLC before my first deal? Thanks to everyone for your answers. Charles
