Why should or shouldn't I get a real estate license?

So in new to this whole shabang and people say that to be an investor you don't need a real estate license, however people also say that it has its perks. I do not wish to sell houses to people as a realtor but I would like to buy property and lease it to people in that fashion. Possibly going into business and leasing commercial property as well, so what are the pro of a real estate license and what are the cons? Also, how long would it take to obtain one and from where and at what price? I am fresh to this whole thing, hence my novice questions but I would appreciate any advice!

Thanks!!
