Contractor who wants to start flipping. Real estate license?

[Katie Le]

My husband and I own a home remodeling company in VA. We want to start flipping houses because we know we can make a decent profit by being the contractor. My question is should I get my real estate license? I do not want to be a full time agent, I just want to be able to buy and sell our own flips. Would the broker's fees and the liability of being the home owner/listing agent even be worth the sale commission? Are there even brokers out there that will take me on knowing that I just want to flip houses? Or should we just hire a realtor?
