Should I get a real estate license? I want to flip houses

[Linda D.]

Hi! Should I get a real estate broker's license? I want to flip houses and may even go with franchise to do that.  By way of background I am a corporate refugee who has been laid off for the 3rd time since 2008 due to business restructuring or M&A. I've been out for over a year now despite looking daily 5-6 days a week. I will keep looking but it's time move away from the concept of career to the concept of making money.
