That's a great start!  Speaking as a Broker/Investor; there are TONS of advantages to getting your license... however that is but ONE.  I wrote an article called "Getting a Real Estate License... does it Help or Hurt you?"

In that article, I briefly outline the major benefits (commissions, MLS Access, extra buyers, extra leads, and "pocket deals" that are unavailable to the general public) as well as the awarenesses you must possess (agency, disclosure, comparable values, as well as the use of State contracts and not those BS contracts Wholesalers typically use).

If you are looking for the Internet's ONLY source of "Realtor® Specific" information with regards to Investing (particularly as it relates to Wholesaling) then you need to check out the blog at TenMinuteSkill and The Red Pill Investor Podcast. 

Good luck, and keep us posted!
